It is true, Douglas Badder lost both legs and still went on to fly and fight. He lost both legs below the knees, iirc from a bad landing with a shot up kite. He had wooden legs fitted and was able to force his weight down enough to work the rudders.

There was an old black and white film about him aswell.
