Book available on "I learned about flying form that"?
Hi, I'm a new PPL and want to pick up as much experience asap. I particularly like the features in Pilot and Flyer that cover incidents/learning. Are there any good books out there with a compilation of all such learning - particularly for PPL VFR rather than commercial aviation.

The American publishers of "Flying" magazine used to publish a book with exactly that title (ILAFFT). I suspect it may still be available
... Try a search on Amazon.

Many many years ago I had a morbid fascination for reading this sort of stuff,and my wife used to buy me a new GA disaster book every time one was published. I recall her telling me that one Christmas when she was placing a telephone order for my latest tranche of disaster fixes, both she and the salesman on the other end were reduced to tears of laughter each time she read out a new disaster title she knew I wanted. "Biggles burns" Biggles dies horribly" "Biggles perishes by a thousand deaths" etc
