Clive 'Killer' Caldwell was a natural and brilliant pilot, a superb shot, and born leader. He saw action against the Germans, Italians and Japanese and remains Australia's greatest ever fighter pilot.

     Born and raised in Sydney it was obvious from an early age that nothing would stand in Caldwell's way. He bluffed his way into the RAAF, and then made sure that he was  posted to exactly where he thought he should be.

     His ability was unquestioned by those around him, and he devised the vital 'shadow shooting' technique which brought the Allies so much success in the air in the North African campaign, and in Northern Australia.
