Based at Long Isl and's Roosevelt Field between 1924 and 1929\, Sikorsky developed several s uccessful aircraft designs\, including the S-29\, a twin-engine biplane ai rliner\, and the S-38\, a twin-engine ten-seat amphibian first purchased b y Pan American Airways. After moving to Connecticut in 1929\, Sikorsky ove rsaw the development of large flying boats and by 1939\, the world's first successful helicopter\, a line of which the company produces to this day. \n\nQuentin Roosevelt (1897 - 1918) was the youngest son of Long Island's President Theodore Roosevelt.
