351ST SQDN. . CREW, AS ABOVE, JOINED THE 100TH ON 12 APR 1944.
NEAL "SCOTTY" SCOTT, COMMAND PILOT, FLEW 42 MISSIONS, THE THIRD OR
FOURTH HIGHEST OF ANY 100TH PILOT. SCOTTY WAS ONE OF THE 100TH'S MOST
RESPECTED PILOTS AND IS FAMOUS FOR REFERRING TO A WING COMMANDER ON VHF AS A
"YELLOW BELLIED SOB" WHEN SCOTT THOUGHT THE WING COMMANDERS ACTIONS WERE
ENDANGERING THE 100TH. WHEN THE IRATE GENERAL ASKED WHO MADE THE
REMARK, THE 100TH'S BELOVED "SCOTTY" TOLD HIM . THIS WAS ON THE 30 NOV 1944
MISSION TO LEUNA, AN OIL REFINERY AND WAS ALWAYS A TOUGH TARGET.
CAPT FREDRICK "FEARLESS FREDDY" CHAPIN TOOK OVER AS BOMBARDIER OF
THIS CREW ON JULY 20, 1944 AN FLEW AS LEAD BOM ON 8 AUG 1944 (ST SYLVAIN).
ALWAYS A TOUGH TARGET AND THE 100TH LOST ITS LEAD AND DEPUTY LEAD TO FLAK
PRIOR TO THE TARGET. .
WOUNDED ON THE MISSION TO ST SYLVAIN, HE RETURNED TO FLIGHT STATUS
AND FLEW 32 FOR THE 100TH AND ONE WITH A B-24 GROUP; PROBABLY THE ONLY 100TH
VETERAN TO FLY A MISSION IN A B-24. THIS WAS CAUSED BY HIS ACCEPTING A DRINK
OF SCOTCH FROM A RATHER BENT OVER COL COMMANDING A B-24 GROUP THAT SHALL
REMAIN UNKNOWN.
"According to the mission critique On August 8, 1944 the target was
German Ground defenses around St Sylvian. The 100th Bomb Group "A" Group was
leading the 13th CBW (Combat Wing) which led the 3rd Air Division and the
8th Air Force. The lead Group consisted of 13 aircraft led by Col Tom
Jeffrey (Commanding Officer of the 100th BG) and Lt Neal P. Scott. The
100thBG "B" Group also consisted of 13 planes and they were flying Low Group
in the 13th CBW. They lost one aircraft (Lt J. P. Keys) and the Lead plane
crash landed behind allied lines. The 390th Bomb Group flew as High Group in
the 13th CBW and the 100th BG provided 3 aircraft for the 390th BG's second
element of the lead Squadron…MPF 2003"
There are references to Neal P. Scott as "Phil" and "Scotty"
