摘要

During his sixty year aviation career, Igor I. Sikorsky accomplished many "World Firsts." However he felt that his foremost "first" was the use of helicopters for air rescue operations. The value of the helicopter in emergency and air rescue operations has been demonstrated since the helicopter's earliest beginnings. It most likely began when United States Coast Guard Commander Frank Erickson flew the Sikorsky R-4 on the first helicopter mercy mission in January 1944; he delivered blood plasma for injured sailors after an explosion occurred aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer off New York harbor. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Carter Harman piloted an R-4 in Burma to rescue four men from behind enemy lines. The first civilian air rescue took place in November 1945, off Fairfield, Connecticut (see Vertiflite, Summer 2005): an Army R-5 with hoist was flown by Sikorsky pilot Dimitry "Jimmy" Viner to rescue two men when an oil barge was breaking up on Penfield Reef during a storm. The first helicopter naval rescue occurred 58 years ago on February 9, 1947, some 15 months after the Penfield Reef rescue. This was carried out in the Atlantic from the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier "Franklin D. Roosevelt" (CVB-42). Rescued were Lt. Robert A. Shields and his crewman, Aviation Radioman Don K. Little. Shields had been forced to ditch his Curtis SB2C "Hell-diver" because of engine failure.

Sikorsky)实现了许多“世界第一”。然而,他认为他最重要的“第一”是使用直升机进行空中救援。自直升机最早问世以来,就已经证明了直升机在应急和空中救援行动中的价值。它最有可能始于1944年1月,美国海岸警卫队司令弗兰克·埃里克森(Frank Erickson)驾驶西科斯基R-4进行首次直升飞机仁慈任务时;在纽约港附近一艘美国海军驱逐舰发生爆炸后,他为受伤的水手运送了血浆。陆军航空兵中尉卡特·哈曼(Carter Harman)在缅甸驾驶R-4飞机从敌军后方解救了四名士兵。 1945年11月,在康涅狄格州费尔菲尔德附近进行了首次民用空中救援(请参见Vertiflite,2005年夏季):西科斯基飞行员Dimitry“ Jimmy” Viner乘坐一架带有提升机的R-5飞机在油驳船破损时营救了两名男子。在暴风雨中在彭菲尔德礁石上。第一次直升机海上救援发生在58年前的1947年2月9日,即Penfield Reef救援大约15个月之后。这是由美国海军航空母舰“富兰克林·罗斯福”(CVB-42)在大西洋上进行的。被救出的是罗伯特·希尔兹中尉和他的机组人员,航空无线电员唐·利特尔。由于发动机故障,希尔兹被迫放弃了他的柯蒂斯SB2C“地狱潜水员”。
