MACMILLAN, CAPTAIN NORMAN & BATTEN, JEAN

An historically significant Jean Batten ASSOCIATION COPY: dated, signed and inscribed by the AUTHOR in 1931 to VICTOR DOREE, a fellow pioneer WW1 Royal Air Corps pilot, who in 1932 bought JEAN BATTEN her famous 'Gipsy Moth' aeroplane. Thus, it is likely that this copy of this book was a deciding factor in determining that Jean Batten would fly a Gipsy Moth. From the library of Ian Mackersey, Batten's biographer.
