I dont think the idea is all that wiered or crazy. Many countries have experimented with stuff like that and I think it wouldn't be that bad, plus I would love to try it out.
 
IF there was a strong wind, you could hover a Storch up to intercept em ;) (Thought quite why the RAF and USAAF would be equipped with storches as interceptors I dont know ;) )
 
interesting that nobody on that forum gives references where they pirated those copyright images.........

the B-17 that has been ripped first was shown in German author Arno Rose's book on Kommando Elbe back in the late 1960's-1970's. It is from the official US Army Air Forces Arcives
 
As far as I've been told it was a Fw-190 that nearly cut that B-17's tail off. (Actually it did cut it off, as it fell apart shortly after landing)

I've seen that picture a number of times, it was always a Me-109 mentioned. In combat like that with closing speeds up to 550 mph and the confusion - who really knows?

It really could have been anything. In most bomber interceptions like that there were Bf-109's and Fw-190's together and in the confusion multiple crews may have seen a Bf-109 and multiple crews may have seen Fw-190's.
