In the "Internet" of course they write anything. But here it seems that Wikipedia describes this case. What happened then?
It is alleged that the American pilot Jace Riesner managed to push the plane of his wingman Joseph Logan, whose anti-aircraft gun pierced the tank and leaked all the fuel, right in the air, to friendly territory during the Korean War. He used the nose of his plane for this, resting it on the nozzle of the inoperative engine of another plane.
Could this happen? Here's how it is described …
Risner posed with an F-86.
Lieutenant Logan lost fuel from punctured tanks over Antung. In an attempt to help him reach Kimpo AFB, James Risner tried to push Logan's plane into the nozzle of a disabled engine. The purpose of the maneuver was to push Logan's plane towards Cho Doo Island off the North Korean coast, where US rescue helicopters were operating. Leaking fuel and hydraulics flooded Risner's windshield and he lost contact. Then he started pushing again until his own engine stalled. Logan ejected near Cho Doo Island, but after splashdown he got entangled in the lines and drowned. Risner without an engine made an emergency landing at Kimpo.
Maybe there is some mistake in the translation?
Here's what those same English-speaking critics say:
"… it is worthy of taking on faith that the windshield frame is able to withstand the force created by the thrust of its engines + the force from the frontal resistance of the pushed aircraft while a small hook is abutted against it + such an intricate application of force, with the arising moment of forces that the first phantom needs it would be to parry with the elevators so that the angle of attack does not critically increase, which will certainly affect the drop in speed and altitude of both aircraft. And all this despite the fact that the first aircraft, as I understood it, was damaged and its pilot was, in general, not up to the jewelry interaction in couple … However, it says there that he just tried, so I understand?"
