"In 1910, a flight from London to Paris took 25 hours and 11 minutes; 50 years later, a supersonic plane would do it in seven minutes."
To advance British aviation, British news tycoon Lord Rawnsley has organised a flight race from London to Paris, where the winner will receive a prize of £10,000 (equivalent to £1,030,000 in 2019). As soon as the news of the competition was released, there were enthusiastic registrations from aircraft enthusiasts from all over the world.
The film "The Good Guy in the Flying Machine", or "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" or (How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 hours 11 minutes) This is the background slowly opened the curtain.
(yes, the name of the movie is that long)
An eye-opening variety of aircraft:
Skateboard spacecraft, are you planning to go skyrocketing?
It's you
Which exhaust fan is the strongest, quickly find American made
And them! Don't believe they will be pilots but they are the pilot series:
Nothing. The German officers who came on stage with a manual said, "No German soldier can do anything bad." Every time the national flag was raised solemnly, the French played the world famous song "Two Tigers".
Local tyrants and Italian nobles who are passionate about flying, brought their family to participate in the competition. When they heard that the training was ranked behind France, they turned their heads and walked away, "Go, go home! Stop playing! The Italians are either first or not!"
The sly and romantic French, in addition to not letting go of every beautiful girl, also do not miss the opportunity to make fun of the Germans
The cute Japanese gentleman who is a kite maker also came to play soy sauce. When he landed on the field, everyone was stunned. Japan is 10,000 miles away from here. What is more than a few dozen miles for others? The reporters rushed forward to interview, and the Japanese were very proud: I took the train to Yokohama first, then took the boat to Vladivostok, took the train to cross Siberia to Paris, took the sea ship to cross the strait, and flew all the way... 4 miles Woolen cloth.
There is nothing that can't be done, only take off and landing that you can't think of:
Italians: Flutter! thump! thump! I flew up like a bird, and a second later...I came down again...
German: Get out of the way! I haven't read the page on how to control the plane to stop! ! !
British: I will conquer the sky the same way I conquer the sea, and be proud of my naval identity.
One after another, the flight accidents full of jokes:
Fly, fly, the wheels are stuck on the train
Fly, fly, the wheels fall to the ground
However, this game that was supposed to be a pilot has also become a competition for the affection of the heroine Patricia Rawnsley.
The reason turned out to be that the serious and dull heroine's fiancé, Richard, did not propose to his girlfriend's father for a long time:
"I'm afraid I can't find a space for marriage. I'm in the army during the day, and I'm busy at night. Dinner on Monday, bridge on Tuesday, billiards on Wednesday, bars on Thursday, and flying on weekends...
Enthusiastic and bold, American pilots who dare to think and do take advantage of it.
A war between man and man, pilot and pilot begins.
In the end, who is holding the beauty back?
Backstage reply: good guy in the aircraft
Let's relive this classic British comedy movie together!
