Roberts was a lifelong observer of aviation history, having witnessed the successful demonstration of a military aircraft by the Wright Brothers in 1909. A Marine Corporal between 1919 and 1921, he pioneered photo reconnaissance for the Marine Corps and demonstrated the potential timeliness of aerial photo reconnaissance by photographing President Harding and his guests aboard the presidential yacht enroute from Washington Navy Yards to Quantico and then presenting finished prints to the President on his arrival at the base.
