Looking for a textbook
I have been recommended to track down and read an English MIL text book used for helicopter training. It is called something similar to Flying 1234.
Does anyone have any ideas of its correct name and where I could find one.
I've done the usual Google thing and only come up with flight routes and Apps. A search for Helicopter 1234 brings up a song and helicopter serial numbers.

Yeah, the 3456 is the standard since the 40s.
For a more modern and informative book, Shaun Coyle's Cyclic and Collective is a better bet. Shaun hangs out on this forum so you might be able to sort one out direct from him.

Thank you gents.
The 3456 sounds like it could be it. The name contained a series of 4 consecutive numbers, so found it I have.
Now, to google for a copy.

And the private pilot versions, plus Helicopter Principles of Flight 
Both provide the elementary stuff for Shawn's book.
3456 is a little out of date these days and not nearly as good as the previous incarnations.

I think the 3456 books got an Aussie military reprint as the 8131 series - they may be easier to access. I think they're digitised somewhere, although getting hold of a copy might not be so straightforward.
