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.

It's titled "The Electra Story"

another Gann masterpiece is Island In The Sky which, while fiction, is based on an incident that is described in Fate Is the Hunter.
