atb1943,
You're quite correct, there are at least two ILAFFT books published by Flying magazine. They are edited to separate the stories into topics such as mechanical problems, getting lost, inadvertant flight into IMC, etc. Lessons to be learned in each vignette.
Len Buckwalter's book still has some good stuff in it today. I would like to get one of the flare rigs he writes about! I don't know if you are familiar with Paul Garrison's Night Flying in Single Engine Airplanes, but he starts the book with an implausible story about a businessman without any real night experience safely flying himself through the fog-shrouded mountains east of Los Angeles. I'm not sure of the point of that story; presumably it is to suggest that night flying is really no big deal.
