New Book Translations

So far Erich Warsitz' story has been published in English, French and German. The success of the book "The First Jet Pilot" relies on its informative, exciting and spellbinding read, and so comes that other publishers are interested to translate it in other languages. Negotiations are in progress and we will post any news as soon as they come available.
