Tribute to Georg Csurusky by Ivan Berryman. [Original Painting]

Initially flying Ju88 bombers with KG51 on the eastern front, George Csurusky converted with his squadron to the Me410 in late 1943. Georg Csurusky flew the Me410 primarily at night. On 22nd April 1944, Me410s of his squadron would have flown in daylight as depicted here to England in order to intercept returning American bombers as the daylight faded. Within twenty minutes, the deadly Me410s had shot down ten bombers for the loss of only two of their own aircraft. Georg Csurusky later converted to the Me262 fighter-bomber, flying 68 of his 209 combat missions in the jet.
