''Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, [[EitherOrTitle or]] How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes'', to give its [[LongTitle full title]], is a 1965 British-American {{period|piece}} comedy film (released through [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios Twentieth Century Fox]]) about an international air race held during the early, pre-UsefulNotes/WorldWarI days of aviation.
