That's Douglas Bader, who actually flew with two wooden legs. He was a bit a patrician, who when shot down was mortified to think that a noncommissioned officer might have been responsible. Galland intervened on Bader's behalf, whose prostheses were broken in his crash, and arranged for the Brits to drop a new set. They did, along with a few hundred bombs for good measure.
