>Never heard of this being all that common. Do you have some resources that talk about this in more detail?
The two most important references in which this is discussed in the context of first decade D&D are PHB page 7 and DMG pages 37-38. I don't remember it ever being said explicitly in OD&D, but in all likelihood the reason is that they assumed it would be obvious, since they were writing for wargamers and the presumption that you can only control one unit simply hadn't emerged yet.
I've put big purple asterisks to mark the passages in which multiple characters per player are mentioned, since you asked explicitly, but all the quotes are a MUST READ if you want to begin to wrap your ahead around how old school D&D was meant to be played originally.
