EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of New Zealand aviator, Jean Batten (1909-1982), in the cockpit of her plane during the 1930s. Known for her record-breaking solo flights across the world, Batten made history with her first-ever solo journey from England to New Zealand in 1936. Dressed in a fur-collared coat, goggles, and gloves, Batten exudes confidence and determination as she gazes out at the horizon with a smile. The image perfectly encapsulates the pioneering spirit of this remarkable woman who defied odds and broke barriers in the male-dominated field of aviation. With her goggles perched on her head and the cockpit instruments at her fingertips, Batten embodies the adventurous spirit of the era. This photograph is a testament to her courage, skill, and unwavering determination to push the boundaries of what was thought possible for a woman in aviation during the 1930s.
