i agree, sounds a bit like Scott in the freezing snow....

"yeah, this is what happened, but sorry, my wingman died so only I can tell this story."

Are you thinking of the suicide squadron the German Luftwaffe had? They modify early version planes, then take them up and while the regular guys floated on a B-17 six o clock getting his A#$ chewed up, the suicide squadron would come in head on, or from top and just ram B-17s. Is that the kind of ramming your talking about?
