Cant help of Hughes banged her, or perhaps there was too much competition between the two.

If you are interested in knowing Jean Batten better than just her public figure it is a must to read "Jean Batten - Garbo of the Skies" By Ian Mackeresy. I really does open your eyes to the truly flawed character that JB was.

Not taking anything away from her achievements but the way she used and abused people to get what she wanted was phenomenal!

Judith Chisholm (UK) made the same flight solo 1980 went on around the world in G-BAGE Cessna and back to Heathrow, broke 28 world speed records, she spoke to Jean on HF during her flight. Judith died 1988 aged 41.

It's quite sad how young girls these days, their role models are all these disgusting pop stars and the media. Jean Batten is a real inspiration.

Great stuff from the golden era of aviation.

Just a wonderful history of a famous aviatrix, she also assisted in the famous search in Australia for a lost Stinson aircraft lost enroute from Brisbane to Sydney on the 19th February, 1937. WELL DONE 5 STARS.
