Known universally as 'Jean' this pioneer aviatrix broke many records and became known internationally. ** ** Born in Rotorua in 1909, Jean Batten made her first-ever flight with Sir Charles Kingsford Smith who was the first person to fly across the Tasman. Jean went up with him in his plane, The Southern Cross, in 1930. Later her mother took her to England with the intention that she should train in music and singing. Flying attracted this Kiwi girl more and -- with the 1930's being a time when aviators were breaking records all over the world -- Jean set about learning to fly. ** ** Her initial attempts at joining the birds were not that successful with landings being a serious problem and at least one crash into a fence being recorded. Jean was known to claim that she took to flying like a "penguin to water", however other pilots recall her as being a very slow learner and far from being a natural pilot. Even very early on she talked about flying from England to New Zealand -- though few watching her thought there was much chance of it. Nevertheless, eventually she became the first New Zealand female to secure the British Air Ministry's A licence. On the day of her first solo flight she shared the air with the R101 airship which crashed only days later. After this she returned to New Zealand where her licence was later endorsed allowing her to carry passengers. Back in Britain she obtained a B licence permitting her to fly commercially and this led her to set up a passenger air service. Her training for this included learning navigation, studying weather and engine maintenance, all things which would prove invaluable during her solo flights. **
