Noted People in New Zealand Aviation History

I have been having a look at the official Dictionary of New Zealand Biography (DNZB) to see how many people who made significant contributions to New Zealand's aviation history have been the subject of biographical notes. These are the 25 names that I have found so far:

Henry van Asch
Jean Batten
George Bolt
Alfred Brandon
Keith Caldwell
Norris Falla
Lawson Field
Oscar Garden
Esmond Gibson
Hilda Hewlett
Leonard Isitt
Cyril Kay
Edward Kidson
Fred Ladd
Fred Lucas
Malcolm McGregor
Bert Mercer
Keith Park
Richard Pearse
Geoffrey Roberts
Leo and Vivian Walsh
Leo White
Harry Wigley
Rodoph Wigley
Henry Wigram

I will add a few more as I find them.
