I have seen a documentary on discovery channel.
About a hurricane that rammed a german plane nearby london.
That hurricane crashed into the centre of the city. The german plane
crashed also but that pilot didn`t survived it.

That documentation let`s see that they had found that hurricane and
they were dig up that plane. The pilot still lived and he stood looking
how they digged out his plain after so many years.

Real cool!!

@ csargemg: I was looking for something else when I came across this:

KNOWN AMERICAN BOMBER LOSSES BY RAMMING.

3RD AIR DIVISION
388TH BG 2 Ramming attack
452nd BG 1 Ramming attack + 3 to fighter attack.
100th BG 1 Ramming attack + 1 Rammed damaged RTB.
385th BG 1 Ramming attack
490th BG 1 Ramming attack + 1 landed in Continent
487th BG 1 Ramming attack damaged landed in Belguim.

2ND AIR DIVISION
389th BG 1 Ramming attack

Total Bomber Losses:
2AD: 3 B-24’s
3AD: 14 B-17’s
Minus one to Flak, one to accidental bombing and 3 to Me-262 jet fighters, its is calculated that 13 bombers were destroyed by Elbe Pilots.
I still wouldn't call it "often", but a few more than I expected. You're on the right track.
