Flying single-seat fighters against the best of the German air force, including the Red Baron's Flying Circus and airmen such as… Werner Voss, Caldwell accumulated 26 victories in aerial combat. Over his illustrious career he flew with numerous ' stars' of the British air service, including Albert Ball, William ' Billy' Bishop and Edward ' Mick' Mannock.
