Frank S. Scott (2 December 1883 – 28 September 1912) was a United States Army corporal who died during his second enlistment, aged 28, in an aircraft crash.

[1] Scott enlisted in the United States Army at Fort Slocum on 2 March 1908, and served with the Field Artillery Branch.

Upon recovery, he was deemed unfit for his current duties and transferred to the Signal Corps' Aeronautical Division at College Park Flying Field in Maryland.

[1] The plane in question had been rebuilt thrice and logged over one thousand flights; it was made of wood, wire, cloth, and glue.

Coupled with eyewitness accounts, the investigatory board determined that pilot error was the cause: Rockwell misjudged the plane's altitude upon descent and could not recover from the dive.
