(John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Washington, D.C. January 20, 1961)

On March 15, 1966, Capt. Martin R. Scott was the pilot of an F4C Phantom fighter/bomber. His co-pilot was LtCol. Peter Stewart. They were on an armed reconnaissance flight in N. Vietnam and #2 in a two-plane flight. They were directed to make a low bombing pass at two trucks on a highway. Moments later, the leader plane observed a dense explosion in the target area. Attempts to raise the #2 plane failed. Scott and Stewart were declared missing. Because the plane went down in a heavily populated area deep in enemy territory, an organized search was not possible. There was no evidence of survival.

Captain Scott (Tulsa, OK) was married. He had three sons. "> (John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Washington, D.C. January 20, 1961)
