Gyro's actually flew before helicopters - in 1923!
The best footage of how Autogyro's started that I know of is here:

It also explains dissymetery of lift very nicely.
Another good one is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbalOh4smnM
As a matter of interest, Amelia Earhart set the world altitude record and did the first trans-Atlantic Crossing in a Gyro in the 1930's!
