SIKORSKY
In 1910 Igor Sikorsky had the extreme satisfaction of test-flying his first plane, the S-1. During the 21 years which followed that successful initiation Sikorsky designs have shown a fine combination of genius with advanced aeronautical engineering. The application of this combination to the most modern of manufacturing methods has resulted in the use of the name "Sikorsky" as a synonym for the highest type of amphibion airplane.
Some 200,000 sq. ft. of floor space are included in the Sikorsky plant. which is as modern in construction, arrangement and equipment as the Amphibions it produces. Included in this great establishment is a complete Experimental Laboratory for research into and the proving of various clements of aircraft design and manufacture. An essential feature of this aeronautical laboratory is the Vertical Wind Tunnel--the first of its type in the United States. 

Sikorsky Amphibions--every one a worthy  bearer of the famous "Winged-S"--are available in four models: the S-39, carrying five persons; the 10-place S-38; the S-41, which accommodates 16, and the S-40 for 40 passengers. For detailed information on any or all of these models, address Sikorsky Aviation Corporation, Bridgeport, Connecticut. Division of United Aircraft & Transport Corporation.
