Missing ONE horizontal stabilizer

[FLS]

I'm reading a book on VT-4 in WW2.  I just read about a TBM that dove steeply, pulled out, and lost one stabilizor and elevator. Flew back and landed on the CV with no control issues.

I've seen 47s come home with alot worse then that. I saw a pic of 1 that had a 30mm hole in the wing
