The date is March 3rd, 1943. Squadron Leader Clive Caldwell climbs into his P-40 Kittyhawk with exactly 200 rounds of ammunition—and nine Japanese bombers in his sights. What happens next becomes one of the most efficient aerial combat engagements in military history.
This is the true story of how Australia's highest-scoring fighter ace achieved what seemed mathematically impossible: destroying five enemy bombers using minimal ammunition through precision marksmanship, tactical brilliance, and intimate knowledge of his enemy's vulnerabilities.
Discover how Caldwell exploited the fatal weakness of the Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" bomber, why his unconventional gunnery techniques were studied for decades afterwards, and what modern fighter pilots still learn from his four-minute masterclass over New Guinea.
From the mathematics of ammunition conservation to the brutal reality of aerial warfare in the Pacific theatre, this is combat aviation stripped down to its essentials: one pilot, one aircraft, and the discipline to make every single bullet count.
