Ah, yes. I've been in that situation before, no aileron control. Only rudder and elevator. Loss of elevator control isn't fun though.
However intelligent use of flaps may save the day if the elevators aren't locked in an awkward position.

Hmm... I remember though not being able to turn using the controls, it was a long time ago.
AAA fire can be devastating if it hits the wrong spot. There must have been more damage to the aircraft than I can remember.

Äh, I managed to land the damaged plane anyhow.
