There is precedent - a WW2 bomber pilot was hit in the face (by fire from the rear gunner of another bomber so not strictly the enemy), remained at the controls (with the Flt Eng's help as he was lapsing in & out of conciousness) & got the ac home - he got a posthumous VC.
It wasn't posthumous - Bill Reid was with us until he passed away in 2001, having recovered and continued his distinguished service with Bomber Command.
