There's a book out there by the founder of NYRBA airlines. He was not a happy camper when his operation got swallowed by Pan Am.
Most of the history is written around cumulus granitus.
There's the Brit who smacked his Lancastrian into an Andean glacier. I'll see if either title still lurks on my bookshelf. Found it - Star Dust Falling by Rayner.
Of course Exupery wrote about air mail pilots in SA, and there's two books on the Uruguayan soccer team that hit another Andean mountain side.
Outside Magazine has a story about a 727 that hit another mountain coming into La Paz, plus an AA flight that suffered the same fate in Colombia.
