Today, when the name of Igor Sikorsky, a prominent Kyivan, aircraft designer, philosopher, is familiar to many Ukrainians, the author invites the reader to the personal universe of this extraordinary man. The book tells the story of three periods of Sikorsky's life. Kyiv - childhood, education, first flights; St. Petersburg - recognition, work as chief engineer, favour of the authorities; American - again, everything from scratch to worldwide recognition and triumph.

Igor Sikorsky is a glorious son of the Ukrainian land. We have every reason to be proud of him, because the roots of the Sikorsky family are in Ukraine, in particular, in Kyiv - the family estate, on the territory of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute - a monument to the outstanding student, at the Baikove cemetery - the graves of his parents.

The life and creative path of Igor Sikorsky is a guiding light for us, a model of purposefulness and responsibility of the individual to civilisation.
