A58-484, flown by G/Cpt Clive R. Caldwell, CO of No. 80 Wing, Morotai Island,
Dutch East Indies, March 1945
A
With 27.5 confirmed aerial victories, Clive Caldwell is Australian´s top scoring fighter ace of World War II. He was the top scoring allied ace in North Africa
and the world´s leading P-40 ace. He was also the only Australian fighter pilot to become a two-theatre ace, becoming an ace in both the Middle East and
Pacific theatres. He scored his victories over the pilots of three countries, Germany, Italy and Japan. This Spitfire Mk.VIII A58-484 was flown by C. R. Caldwell
in the winter of 1944 and spring 1945 while No. 80 Wing based on Morotai Island in North Moluku Islands. The aircraft seems to have some damage to the fin
and rudder. There are signs of repair work on the top of the fin, which has probably been painted in a grey undercoat. A replacement rudder, apparently
finished in Ocean Grey and Dark Green, has been fitted. Note the small wing national insignia roundels, applied over the overpainted larger original items. You
can find more details about C. R. Caldwell and his aircraft in Eduard´s publication 'Aussie Eight', written by Peter Malone, released by Eduard.
