Here's one I read in a book on WW2 air combat, and it claimed it was true.

Swirling dogfight over the Pacific, with a mixed bag of American and British planes trying to escape a superior Japanese group. Over the radio come a yank screaming "Oh God, they're all over me! Somebody help me!"

The reply is from a Brit: "I say, old Chap. There are more than a few of us in the same pickle. Do shut up and take it like a man!"
