When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

"Squadron Leader J.A.F. MacLachlan, the one-armed Commanding Officer of No 1 Squadron RAF, standing beside his all-black Hawker Hurricane Mark IIC night fighter, "JX-Q", at Tangmere in West Sussex, England, November 1941. He had lost his arm just seven months before to a Bf 109 over Malta. (Source - Royal Air Force official photographer Woodbine G (Mr)  IWM CH 4015. Colorized by Paul Reynolds.

James Archibald Findlay MacLachlan DSO, DFC & Two Bars, "One-Armed Mac," was credited with 13 victories over Axis planes. On 18 July 1943 the P-51 Mustang in which he was flying was hit by flak and crashed over France, cutting his life short at age 24.

No 1 Squadron RAF, founded in 1911, endures, currently flying Typhoons out of  RAF Lossiemouth."

thx for the detailed info, Joe ! I wonder how he was able to fully operate a combat airplane single handedly. there are usually controls that need a second hand like operating throttle, setting flaps, retracting landing gear aso while working the stick with the other hand. They must have converted the actual plane to somewhat cope with his disability.
There were several other famous pilots who had been disabled from injuries. like Sir Douglas Bader. who had 2 legs amputated after a flying accident and still went on to become a WWII fighter ace with 22.5 kills

Yikes, about 2/3rds of the left wing was shot away, I wonder if they were able to land that plane intact.
