On December 5, 1941, Wing Commander Clive Robertson Caldwell shot down five Ju 87s in a single engagement. He was promoted to Squadron Leader in January 1942 and took command of 112 Squadron RAF, flying Kittyhawks. Caldwell's prowess as Wing Commander earned him the nickname "Killer", a moniker he disliked, although it was earned for service he was justifiably proud of. The Corgi "Aviation Archive" presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military and civilian aircraft. The vast Aviation Archive range has become the standard by which all other diecast airplane ranges are judged.
