After taking part in the Battle of Kursk, SG 1 returned to Crimea, and there during late spring 1944, they finally gave up the aircraft that had served all over Europe from Spain to Leningrad.
Po tom, čo sa zúčastnili bojov pri Kursku, sa SG1 vrátila na Krym a tam počas neskorej jari 1944 nakoniec vyradila lietadlo, ktoré si počínalo dobre nad celou Európou, od Španielska po Leningrad.
