The first-hand account of Jean Battens record-breaking aviation journeys in the 1930s, told with clarity, courage, and emotional honesty. The book recounts Batten's determination to become a world-class pilot, beginning with her early training in England and culminating in her historic solo flights across vast and often hostile landscapes.

That flight, from England to Darwin in a Gipsy Moth, took just under 15 days and made her the first woman to complete the journey solo.
