Back in WW2, one of the top British aces was a double amputee who'd lost both legs in a training accident. After being shot down and captured, he caused so much trouble with his repeated escape attempts, the Germans ended up locking him away on top of a mountain.
In WW1, the top British ace was blind in one eye. In just ten months he managed to down 79 enemy aircraft (just two shy of the Red Baron's total). For the last four months, he served as an instructor, racing in to kill the observer/gunner and then pulling back to let his students get the kill, denying himself at least forty kills.
It sounds like Major Duckworth has just as much courage and determination of these two pilots, so I wouldn't be surprised to read about her flying again within the next few years.
That would be Sir Douglas Bader.
