Flying books

I am thoroughly enjoying Wolfgang Langewiesche's "Stick and Rudder". Quite a remarkable chap, especially if you believe the cover blurb "Wolfgang Langewiesche first soloed in 1834 in Chicago". This 69 years before the first flight of the Wright Brothers! He was (still is?) also a Cessna test pilot, this when his 100th birthday was already a distant memory?

I now understand why the stall warner goes off again on recovering from the dive after dropping the nose after a clean stall recovery (2 g's of extra weight on the wings).

Any other books ppruners have found useful or entertaining? Any particularly useless?
