Book for a new trainie Pilot

Hi,

I have just started my PPL H (done 6 hours so far) and I want to get a good book.
Now, the stuff in the transair shop etc does not interest me. I am looking for an old school classic so to speak!

I am a fixed wing pilot and I had the same problem when I was doing the fixed wing training a number of years ago. I found, the older the book, the better it was!!

An old pal gave me a copy of "Stick and Rudder by Wolfgang Langewieschie" which is ancient but I have NEVER come across a book like it today. I learned so much from it when I did my PPL A years ago. Trevor Thom is like reading the Bible compared to it (who has the time to digest that!!!!)

Is there a PPL H version?
What did you guys read in the 60's/70's for your basic rotary training?

Thanks.

Call me old fashioned but I think our pilot training books where better back in the old days!
