Digital items relating the Great War Story video about Keith Caldwell: http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/video/keith-caldwell-great-war-story Keith Caldwell was one of the most widely respected fighter pilots on the Western Front, especially when in command of No. 74 (‘Tiger’) Squadron. He was the highest-scoring New Zealand air ace of the First World War with 25 credited victories. Had it not been for his indifferent marksmanship he could have become one of the most outstanding aces of the war. On one occasion Caldwell survived a mid-air collision by skilfully guiding his crippled aircraft to ground level. See more Great War Stories here http://firstworldwar.govt.nz/great-war-stories
