Jean Batten
She was born in New Zealand in 1903. She did a lot of solo trips in her plane across the globe. The flight from New zealand to England was her greatest achievement of all. She flew all the way to England on her own. She also flew plenty of flights from Australia to England. She always wore her silk dress on the parties that were conducted on her arrival. She was the best women avator in the history of New Zealand.
Amelia Earhart
This great woman also lived at the time of Jean Batten in America. She also flew a lot solo fights. She was the first woman to cross the Atlantic ocean on her own. She flew all the way from Canada to Northern Ireland. She also started her circumnavigate( around the world trip). But it didn't end as planned. She went missing on an island called Howland. It was between hawaii and Australia. She was never found.
So that is all about two great aviator. Now I will show you the differences and similarities between these pilots.
So that is it bloggers. See you at next activity.

You've included some really interesting information about Jean Batten and Amelia Earhart here, Albin. I like how you've provided your readers with a bit of background information on each of them before delving into their similarities and differences. Didn't they both achieve amazing things? Have you been on a plane before?
Have a lovely evening and keep up the great blogging. I can't wait to read more posts from you soon.
