EDITORS COMMENTS
"This portrait captures the spirit and determination of Jean Batten (1909-1982), the groundbreaking aviator from New Zealand who made history as the first woman to fly solo across the South Atlantic in 1935. Born on October 25, 1909, in Rotorua, New Zealand, Batten began her flying career at a young age, setting numerous records and breaking gender barriers in the male-dominated world of aviation. In 1934, Batten embarked on an ambitious journey to fly solo from England to New Zealand, a feat that had never been accomplished by a woman. After completing the transatlantic leg of her journey, she became the first woman to fly solo across the South Atlantic, touching down in South America on December 7, 1934. Her courage and tenacity earned her the nickname "The Lady of the Skies." Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks throughout her career, Batten continued to push the boundaries of aviation. She set numerous records for long-distance flying and became a role model for women around the world. This portrait, taken in the late 1930s, captures the essence of Batten's indomitable spirit and her unwavering commitment to her passion for flying. Batten's legacy as a pioneering aviator continues to inspire new generations of pilots and adventurers. This historical image is a testament to her groundbreaking achievements and her place in aviation history."
