In this helicopter, inventor Igor Sikorsky literally hung in the air near Bridgeport, Conn., for one hour, 32 minutes and 30 seconds to break all existing records for this type machine. Inventor Sikorsky doesn't have to remove his hat or don a flying helmet because the down draft from the motor keeps his hat jammed to his head. May 08, 1941. (Photo by International News Photos).
