The predictable lie about Sikorsky having built the first helicopter, which would have been after 1940.

The Fa 223 flew in 1937 and was free hovered inside the Berlin Motor Show stadium by Hanna Reitsh in 1938.

The Fa 223 was followed by the Fl 282 Kolibri which saw operational service before any Sikorsky machine.

Damned journalistic rubbish as usual.
