I read "The Aviator's Wife" by Melanie Benjamin for this topic. I went into it not knowing anything about the Lindberghs. I liked it a lot!
"Skunk Works" by Ben Rich. This book is about the inner workings of Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works Division.. These small band of engineers are the legendary team behind some of the world's most revolutionary aircraft. This book details who they conceive and then go on to build those amazing machines. We do get a lot of information about flying the birds too. Easily a 4.5/5 book.

Fly Me ~ Daniel Riley
Southern California, 1972... stewardesses, drug trafficking, highjacking.
Unlikeable characters and a really crappy ending. It could have been much better!
