Clive Robertson Caldwell

Clive Robertson Caldwell sitting in his Tomahawk. He was shot at the day before, 29 August 1941. On the reverse of this photo he wrote:
“The canopy is in the same position as it was during the “do”. On the far side just behind my head you can see where a few bullets came through and scored a near miss. Another similar burst of about twice the number came through the top, but … was a failure owing to sun glare. They took the ear piece off my helmet. A number of shrapnel holes from the 20mm shells that hit the wings can be seen in the side of the cockpit, and a bullet hole in this side... This was the occasion when I collected a couple or so slugs myself and was taken next day if I remember right. It may be of interest to you”
