About

Every nation has her aviation heroes. Amongst others, France has Bleriot, Mermoz, and Guillaumet; the USA has Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart and Australia has Charles Kingsford-Smith. New Zealand also has her famous aviators, and these are Jean Batten and Clifford Tait. Cliff Tait flew solo around the world from New Zealand to New Zealand in a very small single engine aircraft manufactured in New Zealand, a 115 HP Airtourer. He was aided by the international amateur "ham" radio community. The flight was an enormous success for the pilot and it changed his life forever.
