Aviation pioneer in both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. (See Wikipedia for more information)**Sergei Sikorsky Born in New York City in 1925, he grew up in Connecticut, watching his father, aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky, building the famous Sikorsky flying boats or “Clippers” for Pan American Airways and many other airlines around the world. He remembers his first flight, about eight years old, on his father’s lap in the copilot seat of a Sikorsky S-38 amphibian. He remembers visits to the Sikorsky home by the Lindbergh family, by Jimmy Doolittle, Roscoe Turner and many other aviation personalities. In the late 1930’s, he followed the development of the VS-300, the helicopter that created n industry. He flew in it several times, with his father at the controls.
