Benjamin Roxburgh-Smith DFC & Bar (1884–1952) was a World War I fighter ace credited with 22 victories. After the war, he pioneered aviation in southern Africa. He also served in World War II. ==Early life and service== Roxburgh-Smith was born in Lee, London on 10 April 1884. By the time World War I broke out he was working as a bank teller in Bromley, then still in Surrey.〔 Though a married man with two children, and old enough to be nicknamed "Dad", he initially joined up as a private in the Inns of Court Regiment, which was then functioning as an officer cadet unit.〔 Private Roxburgh-Smith was appointed a Temporary Second Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps on 12 August 1916. It was at about this time he passed through pilot training and was forwarded to No. 60 Squadron RAF.〔 In 1917, he was injured in the crash of a Nieuport Scout. Upon his return to service, he was assigned to flight instruction duty.〔
