Stravinsky: Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra . (Boston Symphony, Serge Koussevitzky conducting, with Jesus Maria Sanroma; Victor: 4 sides). Once the No. 1 bad boy of the Paris salons, Igor Stravinsky, in the late 1920s, began to serve up melodies that sounded like those of the sentimental 19th-Century Romantics. The Capriccio, a deft example of vintage 1929, is performed as only Mr. Sanroma and the Bostonians...
Down over his balding head Igor Sikorsky pulled his too-small hat. With his right hand on the control stick, his feet on the rudder pedals, he grasped with his left hand the lever that controls the lift of the motor by varying the pitch of the blades.

Another famed modern helicopter man is a shy, voluble, fringe-haired Russian, Igor Sikorsky (now a U. S. citizen). By 1910 he had made his third vertical-lift machine, found that it would lift itself but balked at carrying a load. Like many another helicopterphile, Igor Sikorsky soon sideslipped into airplane design. Last week, having completed the design of a new four-motored ocean clipper for American Export Airlines, Igor Sikorsky made his first public flight in a helicopter, 20 years after his earlier contraption had balked...
Satisfied that he had the answer to vertical-lift flight, Igor Sikorsky was also satisfied that he needed only a new engine to make his machine go high in the air, travel long distances at better than 100 miles an hour. Already under way in the Vought-Sikorsky plant is a new helicopter with a 200-h.p. engine...
