SHELTON, Conn., July 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Igor I. Sikorsky Jr. is the son of aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky. Igor Sr is the former US Air Force intelligence officer and Yale-educated attorney, who was a founder of the New England Air Museum and served as a director of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, The National Helicopter Museum in Stratford, CT, The American Helicopter Museum in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and the Sikorsky archives. The pair have completed their new book, "The Lindbergh-Sikorsky Connection": a fascinating account drawn from family archival material in Sikorsky archives and Yale University to present the role of both aviation pioneers in the aviation quest to form international commercial travel.
Aviation grew from a pioneering and experimental group into an industry in the "Golden era" of aviation in the 1930s providing commercial passenger service worldwide.
Two aviation pioneers had a role in this development. While Igor Sikorsky is primarily known for his development of the helicopter, he was a leading designer of amphibian aircraft before that. These flying boats established passenger travel by air, first through the Caribbean, then South America, and ultimately the Pacific. Charles Lindbergh found his central role in transforming aviation from a "barnstorming" stunt into an industry through his epic solo flight across the Atlantic. As a consultant to Pan America, he charted international commercial routes for Juan Trippe's Airline. For the decade of 1930s, these two brilliant minds interacted to create an aircraft industry. This is their story. How they interacted and how they helped shape aviation history.
Published by Page Publishing, Igor I. Sikorsky Jr. and Vincent J. Tanner Sr.'s engrossing book is a must-read for any history or aviation enthusiast.
