No, he was never knighted.

Only in the bedroom with his wife...

Seriously, no - as Jim has said he wasn't Knighted so was not a "Sir".

This seems to be a pretty common error on the web, especially on blogs (big-journalists benefit from in-house fact-checkers), though not quite as common as spelling Fleming with two "m"s. Had Fleming lived longer he would have probably been offered a knighthood, though whether he'd have rejected it like Bond in TMWTGG is impossible to know.

True! However, my guess is that Fleming would have accepted the knighthood.

That would be my assumption as well.
