Born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1909, she was inspired by the pioneering flights of Charles Lindberg's Atlantic crossing (1927) and the Australian Charles Kingsford Smith's Pacific crossing (1928). Determined to become a pilot, Batten moved to London in 1930 to take flying lessons, qualifying for both her private 'A' license and commercial pilot's license in 1931. That year, Amy Johnson set the record for flying from England to Australia in 20 days, and Batten embarked on a course to beat that record. In 1933 Batten made two attempts at Johnson's record in a De Havilland Gypsy Moth DH60 biplane. Both attempts failed, the first with a crash landing in Karachi, the second with a similar fate near Rome. On 8th May 1934, Batten made her third attempt, and succeeded in flying the 10,500 miles from London to Darwin in 14 days and 22 hours, smashing Johnson's record by 6 days. Her return flight to England made her the first ever pilot to fly the round trip of England-Australia-England. Back in England, Batten obtained a new aircraft, a Percival Gull monoplane, which was more technically advanced than the Gypsy Moth with brakes, landing flaps and a greater fuel range. This enabled her to set a new record for the England to Brazil route, when she flew the 5000 miles in 2 days and 13 hours, becoming the first woman pilot to do so. In 1936 she embarked on her most famous journey, the first ever attempt at flying from England to New Zealand, and completed this epic 14,000 mile trip in just 11 days and 45 minutes, with her new aircraft giving her the range to fly across the Tasman Sea. On 16th October 1936, Batten landed at Magare airport in Auckland in front of a crowd of 8000 people, and the record for the she set would remain unbroken for 44 years. Heralded as a national hero, the Maoris honoured Batten with the title 'Hine - o - te - Rangi', or 'Daughter of the Skies'. 1937 saw the last of her record attempts when she set a new record for the flight from Australia to England in 5 days and 18 hours, making her the first pilot to hold the solo record for this journey in both directions. After this voyage she retired from public view and became an increasingly reclusive figure, which along with the ruthless methods with which she had used the men in her life, earning her the epithet 'Garbo of the Skies'. Jean Batten's accomplishments are put into context by the fact that she flew without radio, and used her own navigational skills, a map, watch and simple compass to achieve her records. She was world famous during the 1930's and showered with honours including being the only non-royal to receive Brazil's Officer Of The Order Of The Southern Cross. She gained the Chevalier de Legion d'Honeur in France and a CBE in Britain. From the United States she won the Women's International Association Of Aeronautics Challenge cup three years running, and it is the third of those cups offered here. Jean Batten is further remembered for posterity in New Zealand with Auckland airport's international terminal bearing her name, and a pavilion to her achievements in Auckland's Museum of Transportation and Technology. The presenter of the cup, Lady Grace Hay-Drummond-Hay (nee Grace Marquerite Letheridge 1895-1948), was not a pilot her
