Never heard of that one before! Sensational! The only tail pushing I had heard of before occurred in the Korean War with 2 American Sabres, but didn't end so well. Once the damaged jet was pushed out of enemy airspace and the pilot could eject he did so. Unfortunately, while the two different rescue crews on scene (helicopter and seaplane) were arguing over who was going to pick up the pilot, he drowned in his parachute shroud lines. In the movies he would have made it!!
