Did Fleming make a clear allusion to the Cambridge Five treason in any of his novels. He, for instance, openly wrote in YOLT about the Suez Crisis but I couldn't find similar statement about C5.

I don't remember any, but I'd have to read them all again to be sure.

I am unsure as well. I remember some thought at the time the books were to be a moral booster for the demoralised British Secret Service. There was a fascinating piece about the possibility the novel were counter intelligence, the CIA along with other agency's around the world certainly did this, supposedly Ian was their inspiration. The CIA had a person who wrote book under a pseudonym the Soviets were aware of. The idea was the Reds were convinced his books had breached security getting the author in trouble, it was all an act in the name of disinformation.
I'll do some checking to see if can find a good link.
