Ditto on "Fate is the Hunter" - great book. Try Gann's "Black Watch" about U-2 pilots.
There was a film version of "High and the Mighty" starring John Wayne made back in the 40-50's I think. Terrific movie. Great story line, great suspense, but no profanity, sex, or gratuitous violence, so those whose IQ is room temperature will not like it.
