Notes
Chidlaw-Roberts joined the Royal Flying Corps in 1915. For several months, he flew combat missions over the Western Front as an observer. After flight training, he was assigned to 60 Squadron and began flying the S.E.5a. In an historic dogfight on 23 September 1917, he was almost shot down by Werner Voss shortly before Voss was shot down by Arthur Rhys Davids. On 9 January 1918, Chidlaw-Roberts and two other pilots shot down an Albatros D.V flown by Max von Müller.
