But he was never afraid of voicing his opinions to all those above and below him, be it about the training of pilots, or the equipping of Spitfires for use against the Japanese. Caldwell ended his military career in the Morotai Mutiny in 1945, where he an a number of other Australian pilots tried to resign their commissions in protest at not being allowed y General MacArthur - and the RAAF - to take part in the main action. And then he was embroiled in the Barry inquiry into booze smuggling...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
