Interesting tale from WWII
then there's this -
http://www.uss-bennington.org/phz-nowing-f15.html about the F-15 that lost it's entire right wing in a mid air - and landed safely at 290 knots. There are also a number of stories of 707's that lost large wing sections and made it. Pan Am 843 had a and engine explode, which ignited a fuel tank, which burned off 28 feet of wing. But it landed safely. http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?sec...ews&id=1791801
