Charles J. Russhon (March 23, 1911 - June 26, 1982) was an American photographer and Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force who later became noted for his role as a technical adviser and liaison officer on the Sean Connery and Roger Moore James Bond films of the 1960s and 1970s. ==Biography== He served as a photographer in World War II and was the first American to photograph Hiroshima after the atomic bomb attack. He served in the China-Burma-India Theater of WWII and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Air Forces. After the war, Russhon became interested in motion pictures and served as a technical adviser to filmmakers. He used his former position in the airforce and expertise most notably on the James Bond films enabling the producer to gain access to previously off boundary locations and equipment. In 1963 he negotiated the use of land in Istanbul from the Turkish authorities during the making of ''From Russia With Love'' and gained the rights to use Fort Knox for ''Goldfinger'' in 1964 using his position in the Air Force to allow special use in film. The producers acknowledge his help by a sign in the film at Ft Knox that reads "Welcome to Fort Knox - Gen. Russhon". He was also an adviser on the 1965 Bond film ''Thunderball'' and was able to supply the experimental rocket fuel used to destroy the Disco Volante in the film. Russhon using his position was also able to gain access to the US Navy's still experimental Skyhook rescue system which was used to lift actors Sean Connery and Claudine Auger from the water at the end of the film.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thunderball Production Notes )〕 Russhon appears in Air Force uniform in the film. Russhon later worked on ''You Only Live Twice'' in 1967 and ''Live and Let Die'' in 1973. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Russhon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
