CareerScott was born in Roberval, Quebec in 1889 and graduated from Quebec High School.[1] In March 1916 Scott was seconded from the Canadian Artillery to the Royal Flying Corps.[2] Only four months later in July 1916, while serving as a lieutenant, Scott was awarded the Military Cross for attacking a train well behind the German lines even though his aircraft was very badly damaged by enemy fire.[3] He transferred to the Royal Air Force in 1918 and after the Armistice he was awarded the Air Force Cross.[4] After the War Scott returned to Canada, and after promotion to wing commander, he served as the Officer Commanding the Canadian Air Force from 1921 to 1922.[5] Two years later, Scott who was promoted to group captain again held the Air Force's senior post, this time as the Director of the Royal Canadian Air Force.[6] During this time he petitioned his superior Major-General J H MacBrien for permission for the Air Force to stop focussing on forestry and photography work in order to train as a fighting force. Scott's request was refused and he continued in post until 1928.[7] On 1 April 1931, Scott was granted the honorary rank of air commodore.[8] Scott left the RCAF and returned to duty in 1939 and served during World War II and retired in 1945.[1] Scott died in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1975.[1] Notes1. ^1 2 Air Force awards {{s-start}}{{s-mil}}2. ^{{London Gazette |issue=30416 |date=4 December 1917 |page=12795 |supp=y }} 3. ^{{London Gazette |issue=29684 |date=25 July 1916 |pages=7429–7434 |supp=y }} 4. ^{{London Gazette |issue=31098 |date=31 December 1918 |pages=97–98 |supp=y }} 5. ^{{cite book |last=Goodspeed |first=Donald James |title=The Armed Forces of Canada, 1867–1967: a century of achievement |year=1967 |publisher=Directorate of History, Canadian Forces Headquarters |page=273}} 6. ^Flight Global 7. ^Cameras take flight 8. ^Honorary Ranks of the RCAF |-{{s-bef|before=Ronald Francis Redpath}}{{s-ttl|title=Officer Commanding the Canadian Air Force|years=1921–1922}}{{s-aft|after=Lindsay Gordon As Director}} |-{{s-bef|before=William George Barker}}{{s-ttl|title=Director of the Royal Canadian Air Force|years=1924–1928}}{{s-aft|after=Lloyd Samuel Breadner}} |-{{s-end}}{{Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Scott, James Stanley}} 9 : 1889 births|1975 deaths|British military personnel of World War I|Canadian recipients of the Military Cross|Royal Air Force officers|Royal Canadian Air Force officers|Royal Canadian Air Force personnel of World War II|Royal Flying Corps officers|Recipients of the Air Force Cross (United Kingdom) |
