These photos are from my Father's collection. He flew for Sikorsky in the late 1940's. He looped the first helicopter and set and International speed record of 129.62 mph the same year.

  • Wow - how exciting!

    This is brilliant. Thank you.

  • Love the postit notes on the pics too!

    How many times do we come across old family photos and wonder who is in them, long after our dear departed are no longer around to tell us and we were too young or silly to pay attention when they were.

  • Yeah, I agree. Some great pics in that collection.

    Very few people realise how diverse and advanced helicopters were even before the 1940s

  • very cool. I think that early piston helicopters are a neglected part of aviation history.
