Navy approves legless Oberlin pilot aimed to fly again
Oberlin man Navy Lt Frank K Ellis, a double amputee from a 1960 Pont Vama incident, seeks flight status by October. He lost a leg in the crash, endured months of recovery, and hopes to become the first legless pilot in any U.S. service. His determination echoes a WWI British case and a Marine return to parachutist duty after leg loss.
