The first real helicopter flight was made by Hanna Reitsch in a Focke-Achgelis near Berlin around 1937. Consistent and accurate Allied bombing missions destroyed this helicopters production lines so it never got into real development.

How does a helicopters rotor blades make the helicopter turn left and right?
By adjusting the speed of tail rotor, which points to the side, the pilot can turn the helicopter in flight. The main upper rotor actually plays only a minor part in making helicopter turn. The part supplying most of the control is the tail rotor. Because the main rotor is spinning in one direction, without a tail rotor, the body of the helicopter would spin around in circles in the opposite direction. The reason for this is explained in the first part of Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite action. The torque generated to make the rotor turn also exerts torque on the body of the helicopter "willing" it to spin the opposite direction. However, the tail rotor spins, pushing air to the side. This creates force in the opposite direction, keeping the helicopter stable. By simply adjusting the speed of the tail rotor, the helicopter can be turned in flight.
