Stick and Rudder; An Explanation of the Art of Flying by Wolfgang Langewiesche
This book is excellent. It is easy to read and understand, the explanations are in plain language and the author doesn't dazzle with mathematics of flight, just the basics.
How an aircraft flies and what the controls do, and how to use them at various times in flight.
In the real world I would expect a new pilot to have a thorough familiarity with all these truths before ever taking a seat at the controls of an aircraft.
In the sim world you can learn to fly pretty much without any knowledge, just because it is a computer game.
However if you combine your learning from the game with the knowledge in this book and apply the lessons within, you will become a better sim pilot, be sure!
5 stars.

Thanks for that, have to check it
This is such a good read I can't put it down!
Thank you Bonditaria for posting this and thank you Waldemar for commenting on the thread. I would have never come across it if you hadn't commented.
I thought for years that it was a bit silly that the F-16 has an AOA indicator as I thought the AOA is quite an obvious thing. After going through about half of the book the only obvious thing is that I did not understand what the AOA is.
There are many hidden gems in this forum but this just made my week!!!
