The next 54 years, Sikorsky built his planes and helicopters in America, whose citizen he became shortly after arrival and which became his second homeland - the years lived in the United States, give a weighty foundation to call this country the homeland, even one and a half, Igor Sikorsky.

Even if he himself did not think so. In America, Igor Ivanovich safely developed family life. The wife of Elizaveta Alekseevna completely gave herself to the family, she did not go to any service and raised her sons, whom they had four - Sergey was born in the year, Nikolai in the year, Igor in the year and George in the year.
