Although a March 1998 article in the New York Times mentioned that Fulton had just finished writing a collection of autobiographical essays called Twice Upon a Time, it was never officially published.

The only remaining model is at the Smithsonian. He also developed a device nicknamed the ?Skyhook? for the CIA. It was used to pick spies off the ground during the Cold War, though it?s better known for its appearance in the 1965 James Bond movie Thunderball. A charmingly eccentric publication.…
