The answer is: British writer, Ian Fleming, he created both of them. The name Ian Fleming is famous for writing the James Bond novels. His first one was "Casino Royale," and he wrote it in 1952 when he was 54 years old. He wrote eleven more Bond novels and two collections of stories about him also. His inspiration for writing it came from some of his experiences in intelligence for The British Navy.
In 1965, Fleming wrote a children's book, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car." The story was about an inventor who upgraded a broken down grand prix car to a flying car. The family went on an adventure to save their grandfather in another land. He used to tell his kids stories about a flying car and he decided to write it after he had a heart attack. Dick Van Dyke starred in the 1968 movie and British comedian, Benny Hill, was in it also. The songs in the movie were written by the Sherman Brothers who wrote the songs for "Mary Poppins."
The car in the 1968 movie was bought at one point and refurbished by actor, Chris Evans, who played a super-hero even James Bond would have difficulty beating-Captain America.
There will be a new actor playing the role of James Bond and he hasn't been announced yet. The next movie may come out next year. And what about "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?" Believe it or not, they have started to work on a new movie with Amazon, but there's no timetable that's been announced. Maybe, they'll come out at the same time?
