Alex,

VERY nice and scarce item.

Like many of the war artists, Liska went on after the war as a successful commercial artist, in his case, most notably with Mercedes.

which one of the Liska books is it? Could you post a pic of the title page please? Cheers, Torsten.

[ramon]

If I'm not mistaken this is Liska's Skizzenbuch, but with a Romanian language frontis. Very difficult to find.

Ramon is absolutely, 100 % correct on his statement, it is indeed that book.

PS: Of course, a romanian languange original one is very scarce. i have never seen that before and I assume that your's is this Luftwaffe version.

[Alex Stefanut]

Yes, it is indeed the Luftwaffe version. And it is an original, dated 1943.
