Not honored on banknotes (and unlikely to be), but their fame has been marked and acknowledged in other forms, including on this stamp issue - Richard Pearse (1877-1953) was a pioneering contemporary of the Wright Brothers, except in NZ, and Jean Batten (1909-1982) made record breaking solo flights around the world in the 1930s.
