Notes
Scott broke both legs in a flying accident during flight training. Although he recovered, he had difficulty walking unaided and often required help getting into and out of a cockpit. An aggressive pilot with a tendency to get into trouble, Scott often patrolled the lines alone. Doing so on 28 May 1917, he encountered Karl Allmenröder who scored his 21st victory by forcing Scott's Nieuport down.
