    The ‘Garbo of the Skies’ Known as the ‘Garbo of the Skies’ after Greta Garbo, the famous screen actress of the day, Jean Batten was the most glamorous aviatrix of the 1930s, rumored to always carry a white silk dress with on her record-breaking flights so she could be properly dressed for social occasions. A record holder by her twenties, Batten’s flying achievements put her on par with more widely-recognized female fliers like Amelia Earhart and Amy Johnson. Born in New Zealand on 15 September 1909, Batten had a great love of nature, a love that was furthered when she was taken for a flight by the famous aviator Charles Kingsford Smith. Batten’s set her sights on becoming an aviator, determined to create a name for herself in a world that was rapidly discovering the possibilities aviation offered.
