Aviation in the News: Helicopter Gets Nod. The first transport helicopter certified by the CAA for regular scheduled airline takes off at the Sikorsky plant and goes through its amazing paces for the newsreel cameras. Inventor/designer/aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky receives a certificate, shakes someone's hand. Various shots of Sikorsky helicopter spinning in circles (scary!), flying about. Pretty cool.
