Wing Commander Clive "Killer" Caldwell.

28 1/2 Aerial victories.

Most notable kill over Nth Africa. Spectacular gunnery on the stall according to witnesses.

Most notorious victory, again Nth Africa. Shot down by German ace. Was preparing to bail out of his Warhawk when the pompous German pulls up beside him in a moment of chivalry and to offer a salute to the vanquished.

In a most unsporting manner climbs back into the aircraft and shoots the german down.

No slouch of a business man either. A prosperous adventure running sly grog to thirsty Americans in the Sth Pacific toward wars end. Using Kittyhawks!
