Not possible anymore to fly with half wing?

Did an involuntary test of losing 1/3 of the right wing on a 109-F4, was just as jerky as the Pe2's but did still fly fairly good.

Well just considering that an aileron can cancel out the lift of that wing portion makes it very well thinkable that planes can keep flying with larger parts of wings missing.

When an aircraft is rolling, the downard-going wing is still producing a net positive lift.

 

It's just producing less than the other wing, resulting in a roll.

 

The ailerons don't "cancel out" the lift of the wing.
