JEAN BATTEN: THE GARBO OF THE SKIES.
London: Macdonald. 1991. 465 pp large 8vo 9 7/16" H B&w photographs maps. "Jean Batten whose sudden disappearance in Majorca in 1982 created a mystery for nearly five years was one of the great aviation megastars of the 1930s. Her spectacular flights ranked with those of Britain's legendary Amy Johnson and America's Amelia Earhart. Yet despite her brilliance as a pilot she remained the least well-known of them all. For the dentist's daughter from New Zealand bu ilt an impregnable wall around her private life - which was dominated though few ever knew it by the shadowy Svengali figure of her mother. Drawing on secret memoirs found after her death and on hundreds of interviews with people who knew her this first biography of Jean's sad and elusive life explodes the enduring myths of happiness and perfection that she created for herself. The real Jean Batten emerges as a fascinating woman who combined bravery and ruthlessness with the stunning a nd seductive beauty she used so effectively to achieve her destiny. After her disappearance the search for Jean during the mid-1980s went on fruitlessly for five years. But where the diplomatic initiatives of the New Zealand Government failed to find her the determination of Ian Mackersey - and his wife Caroline - succeeded. In a major amateur detective operation they established at last in 1987 the truth about this remarkable woman's bizarre and lonely fate."

'AVIATION: THE PIONEER YEARS' divides the story of flight into five main periods and dedicates a chapter to each. In the first of these periods the book briefly reviews the knownor legendary attempts at flight before the 18thCpassing from Icarusthrough the notebooks of Leonardo da Vincito the ultimate success of Montgolfier and Charleswho within twelve weeks of each other had invented both the hot-air and the hydrogen balloon. By the beginning of the second period it was clear that human power alone would never be sufficient either to lift a man in a heavier-than-air machineor to steer him against a wind in a lighter.This period ends with the emergence of two separate lines of investigation: the motor-men and the glider-men. By 1901the third chapterthe strands were beginning to come together againand the Wrights of America solved on gliders the vital problem of directional stability by their system of warping the wings to increase and reduce lift as required.In 1903 the Wrights married a petrol engine of a suitable power and weight to their controllable glider and the thing was done.Once done however both the aeroplane and the airship went from strength to strength.In ten short years the aeroplane developed from the Wright's construction of wood and canvas to the three Zeppelins that between them carried a total of 19109 people in the twenty months to November 1913 and this without a single accident.All this progress is recounted in detailas are the first long-distance journeys to Africa and Russia. The fourth stage is concerned with the First World War.For four yearsmoney was literally thrown at the aircraft industrybut little went on fundamental advance.The aircraft of 1918 were essentially the same as those of 1914the only difference was in the scale of production. The effect of the vast increase in the world's stock of both fliers and machines is charted in the fifth and final chapter as the main thrust of aviation changed from the individual efforts of those flierssolo or in small groupsto those of powerful commercial companies to open up not only the geographical world but also to extend the frontiers of performance in speedin altitudein duration and above all in safety.These pioneer years were rich in incidentbrilliant and sometimes eccentric peopleand amazing flying machines.The combination of well over 850 extraordinary and often rare illustrations with a lucidhighly informative text makes this history of aviation an indispensable work for all those with a fascination in man's overwhelming urge to fly.
