The 'Miss Jean Batten' referred to, was a female pilot and New Zealand's greatest aviator. 
In the 1930s she set solo flying records. In 1936 she was the first person to fly direct from England to New Zealand. In February 1937 she was in Australia prior to her long distance Australia to England flight.
She joined the search for the Stinson, convinced it had gone down around Berowra, and what is now the Ku-ring-gai Chase and Brisbane Water National Parks.
