Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.

In January 1941, Scott and E.L 'Nipper' Joyce, another New Zealander from Scott's Wigram course, were posted to 3Sqn, which was then based at Skeabrae in the Orkney Islands, defending the nearby naval base at Scapa Flow. On 3 April 1941, 3Sqn was transferred to Martlesham Heath near Ipswich and became part of 11 Group. On 9 April, they were joined by 71Sqn, and both units settled down to a quiet period of convoy patrols. Both units were equipped with Hurricane Marks IIA and IIB, armed with eight and 12 .303-inch Browning machine guns, respectively, although these were being changed for the improved Mark IIC, which was armed with four 20 mm Hispano cannon. It became apparent that 3Sqn was expected to operate both by day and by night in a wide range of roles:

'The reason for our shift south soon became obvious. Instead of waiting for the Luftwaffe to visit Britain, the hierarchy of the RAF had decided to take the air war into the enemy's domain. Not only were we expected to carry out attacks on enemy shipping and targets in Belgium and France, we were also expected to do night fighter patrols over London – a dual role that was versatile but very exhausting. We could cover most operations from Martlesham Heath, but fighter nights over London had to be carried out from Debden on account of its runways and better night-flying facilities. Thus we could be attacking shipping in the morning (Roadsteads), escorting Blenheim or Stirling bombers over France in the afternoon (Circuses) and flying defensive patrols over London on the same night.' — Desmond J. Scott, 'One More Hour'

Scott made his first claims on 7 August 1941, a pair of Bf-109s damaged over Le Touquet. During night intruder operations over the Netherlands, Scott was to claim several kills during the first half of 1942, totalling 3.5 claimed destroyed, 3 probables and 3 damaged. He was promoted flight sergeant in May 1942 before being commissioned in July, becoming a flight commander in August. In September, he received the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar, was promoted to squadron leader, and rested from operations, serving with HQ Fighter Command in a staff position.

In April 1943, he converted to the Hawker Typhoon and joined 198Sqn as a squadron leader, before moving to command 486Sqn (NZ), flying offensive fighter-bomber operations over Europe. In the next four months, he claimed another 2 destroyed and 2 shared destroyed. In August 1943, he received the Distinguished Service Order and became Wing Leader, RAF Tangmere. In November 1943, he was rested and posted as Commanding Officer, RAF Hawkinge. In March 1944, he commanded the newly formed 123 Wing, flying Typhoons, taking the unit to Europe during mid-1944, and becoming the youngest group captain in the RNZAF. He finished his tour in February 1945. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for rescuing a pilot from a burning crashed aircraft. Scott's claims for the war were 5 (and 3 shared) aircraft destroyed, 4 (and 2 shared) 'probables', 5 (and 1 shared) damaged

Crashed target area PoWEither hit by flak or most likely shot down by a night fighter, the aircraft crashed in the target area. Scott (the Mid Upper Gunner) and another air gunner were killed; the rest of the crew bailed out and were taken Prisoner of War. A letter written to the recipient’s mother by the aircraft’s Wireless Operator, Pilot Officer Albert Sharrock, who survived and was taken Prisoner of War, states: ‘Dear Mrs. Scott, I received your letter a week ago and am most sorry indeed to hear the sad news of your son James. He did everything that was required of him on the trip magnificently, and you can be proud to know that he did his duty without thought of personal danger. Regarding the actual circumstances at the time we were shot down I’m afraid I cannot give you any details, but I have every confidence that he was able to bale out... May I extend my sincerest condolences to you in your loss and express the hope he will not have made the greatest sacrifice in vain.’ This raid was the major diversionary raid from the resumption of the ‘Battle of Berlin’. 395 aircraft were sent to bomb Mannheim. German night fighter successfully engaged the main bomber stream shooting down 23 aircraft. The Daimler Benz car factory suffered catastrophic damage on this raid.
