While struggling as a farmer and teacher, he continued his captain’s discipline—meticulous, hierarchical, and safety-focused.

As a boy in Ukraine, he had built a small rubber-band-powered helicopter inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings. By the late 1930s, with fixed-wing aviation becoming highly institutionalized, Sikorsky turned his full attention back to the rotary-wing concept. Revolutionizing the Sky: The Birth of the Modern
