In 1913 the Batten’s family moved to Auckland. Jean was enrolled to a girl’s boarding school in Remuera. There, she studied piano and ballet. Although she was a talented pianist she become more interested in becoming a pilot.

Jean Batten is one of the New Zealand aviators. She became the best known aviator of New Zealand and did record breaking solo’s across the world. When Batten died the airports workers tried to put her gipsy moth plane on the top and it worked. every time I go to the airport I always see Jean Batten’s gipsy moth plane and it reminds me of her when she died.

And Remember Jean Batten will never be forgotten.

Today for writing Te Ika a Maui and Aoteroa group had to practice writing a conclusion about P.B.S. and then we had to write a real conclusion on our favourite aviator. I choose Jean Batten as my New Zealand aviator.
