  • Clive Caldwell (Sydney, 28 juli 1910–1994) was een Australische piloot die in de Tweede Wereldoorlog voor de Royal Australian Airforce vocht. Hij vocht zowel tegen Duitse als Japanse vliegtuigen; een unicum vergeleken met andere piloten die meestal maar tegen één ander land vochten. Ook vocht hij boven vier continenten. Caldwell schoot eerst van april 1940 tot december 1941 veertien Duitse vliegtuigen neer. Daarna vertrok hij naar Australië waar hij nog eens veertien overwinningen op Japan behaalde. Met in totaal 28 overwinningen is hij de meest succesvolle Australische gevechtspiloot uit de oorlog. De bijnaam van Caldwell was de Stuka Killer omdat een groot deel van z'n overwinningen op Stuka-duikbommenwerpers waren. (nl)
