I've just bought the above book written by Wolfgang Langewiesche in 1944 ,it is an absolute gem.
The descriptions of events,causes and how it happens in different situations is brilliant.
I'm still a very low hours PPL, and in a way wish I had bought when I was having my PPL lessons.
Going back to read a bit more now
I keep Wind in the Willows by my bedside and think this will join it.
