Igor Sikorsky
In 1919 Igor Sikorsky landed on these
shores from Russia dreaming of a career in aviation. His determination
and faith in his own ability to
build what many considered to be an
impossible vehicle lead to the world’s first practical helicopter.
Because of this, the helicopter is an integral part of many difficult
missions, including the saving of thousands of lives in both peace and
war.
