No really "aircraft " but closely related: "Longitude" by Dava Sobel - and after reading I challenge you to be within 50nm of Greenwich and not visit to see clocks - apologies chronometers.
If you've ever flown on PanAm or know or are one; "Sky Gods" by Robert Gandt. You'll see the train wreck coming and wonder why no one did anything to stop it.

And absolutely not "aircraft" but after reading "Longitude" you will enjoy "1421" by Gavin Menzies. Well referenced story of potential Chinese discovery well before the Europeans. Ever wondered why Cook was looking for a Southern Land?
