It cannot be stated with certainty how many G-1s have finally been captured by the Germans. It may be assumed that various types Mercury and Wasp have been landed undamaged in German hands. Also it may be taken for granted that a number of the Danish aircraft have ended up undamaged with the Germans . It is almost certain that some thirty aircraft have entered service with the Luftwaffe, but of about twenty further aircraft the ultimate fate is still unknown.
Germany used the G-1 mainly as test aircraft and training aircraft. With one of those test aircraft Messrs. Leegstra and Vos succeeded to escape to Great Britain on May 5th , 1941, during a daring raid. This aircraft has finally been destroyed by the harsh British climate being a test vehicle for the Miles aircraft factory. It is not completely known how the German Air Force allocated the German G-1 aircraft with the various units. In any case the Aircraft Flying Schools [Flugzeugführerschule] C8, C11 and ZS 1 have utilized the G-1.
