There is a new book due to be released on 10 July on Caldwell titled "Clive Caldwell Air Ace". It's published by Allen & Unwin and written by my local second-hand book dealer here in Canberra. Three years in the making it promises to be the best account on Caldwell to date. And should offer some new insights into the Spitfires performance over Darwin as well.  |
Hi Jim
Thanks muchly - yes, I know about the new Caldwell book and am already eagerly awaiting my own copy! The book dealer and author you mention is also responsible for my copy of 'Spitfires Over Darwin 1943' and this forum for making me aware of the book in the first place! So double thanks!
Regards
Nicholas
