I removed the description that Roe was a pilot as he doesnt appear to have held a British pilots licence and while with the Royal Flying Corps he acted as an observer rather than a pilot. When the re-joined the RAF during the second world war he was in the admin/special duties branch. User Doktorspin has provided a reference, quote "piloted the planes as often as his brother" from a 1977 book but I still find it dubios that he was a pilot.
