Towards the end of the war, Captain America and Bucky were involved in a battle that threw Rogers into the Atlantic and seemingly killed Barnes.

Shmidt mocked their efforts, as they were still close enough to his target to fulfill his mission. Bruce and Steve broke onto the plane and flew it to the Atlantic Ocean. The four heroes took the Batplane to intersect Skull's plane as it left the base.
