Scott never became a very good pilot; in fact, in training, he crashed and broke both legs. He continued training on canes, and had to be assisted into the cockpit. However, he was a pugnacious dogfighter whose solo missions sometimes got him into trouble. For instance, on 28 May 1917, he survived being Leutnant Karl Allmenröder's 21st victory.[3] In July 1917 Scott was awarded the Military Cross: {{quote|Capt. (temp Maj.) Alan John Lance Scott Yeo., and R.F.C. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He has on several occasions attacked and destroyed enemy aircraft and taken successful photographs under heavy fire. He has constantly shown the greatest courage in attacking numerous hostile machines single-handed, during which on two occasions his own machine was considerably damaged. His great coolness, dash, and resource have set an excellent example to his squadron.[4]}}Scott was a flight commander on No. 43 Squadron RFC until 10 March 1917 when he took up command of No. 60 Squadron RFC. He remained as No. 60 Squadron's commander until 11 July 1917, the day after he was wounded in action.[5] From some time in 1917 to 1918, Scott was the Commandant of the Central Flying School.[6] Notably, Scott acted as Winston Churchill's flying instructor.[7] In 1920, Scott's book "Sixty Squadron RAF: A history of the squadron from its formation" was published.[8] Scott died on 16 January 1922 in London, England aged 38.[9] ReferencesFootnotes1. ^[https://archive.is/20130125132547/http://www.historynet.com/air_sea/aerial_combat/3034161.html?page=3&c=y TheHistoryNet | Aerial Combat | William "Billy" Bishop: World War I Canadian Ace Fighter Pilot] 2. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Search/Search.aspx?Path=%2FqueryEntry.m%3Ftype%3Dbirths |title=Birth search |date= |website=Births, deaths & marriages online |publisher=Department of Internal Affairs |accessdate=30 January 2016}} 3. ^{{cite book |title= Above the Trenches: A Complete Record of the Fighter Aces and Units of the British Empire Air Forces 1915–1920 |page= 333 }} 4. ^London Gazette Issue 30204 24 July 1917 5. ^{{cite book |title=Nieuport Aces of World War 1. |page= 30 }} 6. ^The Royal Air Force – History Section 7. ^The Churchill Papers: A catalogue 8. ^Search Results 9. ^1 Alan John Lance Scott Bibliography
