Actually yes, just the other night. Same wing as in the photo, I think it needs to be the right wing so the engine torque can contribute to the missing lift?

Interesting that he claimed to have disabled a Tiger with one guns attack.

I remember an FSO when I nursed a zero back to base and landed it with one wing :rofl Probably wouldn't have believed it had I not reviewed the film the next morning because I was a little, uh, 'medicated' when I was 'flying'.

I have landed a p47 and many 190/“s with a half wing it is all about rudder control and what flaps you have left to land that hurt plane many times do t drop the landing gears that will help you land safely also

I have landed a P-38J with one wing, one engine, one rudder, and with none of the other..... with differing results. :D

Little off topic but I just landed a 47 with no elevator yesterday, it unlocks an achievement. I’ve landed before in a 47 with half a wing

Stuck flap and adjust the blender so that it helps right the aircraft. Having Tequila, limeaide, Triple-sec, and ice in the blender is a plus. Helps calm the nerves.
