LOVED the RS Tuck book - great read.
Gann is exceptional as well. I would also recommend a book by Bob Serling (brother of the Twilight Zone guy) - he wrote a book about the Lockheed Electra (L-188, not the older versions) and how they diagnosed and fixed the structural problems on the airplane (whirlmode). It was an awesome book.
