• “If
you are in trouble anywhere in the world, an airplane
can fly over and drop flowers, but a helicopter
can land and save your life.” —Igor
Sikorsky, 1947
• “Helicopters,
Above All... Save Lives!” —Helicopter
Association International (HAI) http://www.rotor.com/
• “...The helicopter
symbolize(s) the victory of ingenuity over common
sense.” —Lyn Montross and Ray Prouty, U.S. Marine Corps Helicopter Experience,
p. 20.
• “The fact that... helicopters are eagerly
sought in large numbers by air forces, armies, and navies all over the world
serves
to underscore their
value.” —Modern Fighting Helicopters, p.10, paragraph 5.
• “Although records are, in some cases, sketchy, indications are
that the H-13 rescued about 25,000 persons in Korea. This includes both wounded
troops
and injured Korean civilians, the majority of whom would probably have died if
they had been forced to rely on surface transportation to reach a hospital.” —The
Bell Helicopter Textron Story, Changing the Way the World Flies, by David A.
Brown, 1995, p. 101.
• “No sight is more welcome to a storm-damaged
area than the fleet
of rescue helicopters that magically appears immediately afterward.” —Helicopters
1948-1998, A Contemporary History, Copyright 1998 Helicopter Association International,
Author: Francis G McGuire, p. 202.
• “Law
enforcement helicopter pilots and their crews
are everyday heroes who routinely engage in high-risk
missions for the public good.” —Rotor (magazine),
Winter 2005-2006, Vol. 18, No.4, Page 38, paragraph
2, Martin J. Pociask, Communications Assistant.
• “The first real flying
machine-that's what some people call a helicopter.”
—The Complete Book of Helicopters, by D.N. Ahnstrom,
1954, page 11.
 • “The
unique Lockheed Cheyenne was part helicopter, part fighter plane. Heavily
armed
and blisteringly fast, it promised to revolutionize
the battlefield of the 1970's. In the end, it
proved to be a leap too far for the politicians
and Army, but it can rightly be considered to
be the progenitor of today's attack helicopter.”
—Wings of Fame, Volume 14, Robert Hewson, page 138.
• “Frank [Piasecki],
inventor of the tandem rotor helicopter, left
an indelible mark on helicopter history, and
while it's true he may be one of today's less-referenced
helicopter legends, he certainly is one:
progenitor of the H-46 and -47 Sea Knight and
Chinook lines, a visionary, inventor, even a
slightly madcap believer at times in unconventional
ways of harnessing the power of rotor lift.”
—Defence Helicopter (magazine), February/March 2006,
Vol. 25, No.1, pages 33-34, paragraph 3, David
S. Harvey, Editorial Director, North America.
• “...the Helicopter
is a highly complex and remarkable machine which
has become an indispensable means of transport
and has proved invaluable in both civil and
military contexts, as well as for para-military
tasks such as policing, air-ambulance work and
traffic control.” —The Illustrated Encyclopedia
of Helicopters by Giorgio Apostolo, 1984, first
paragraph of the introduction.
