Red November - Cuban Missile Crisis, the nuts and bolts behind how we were able to locate the soviet foxtrots, and also some of the cable tap missions.
Just started reading a pretty new book (2010 release): "Night Fighter Navigator: Beaufighters and Mosquitos in World War II" by Dennis Gosling, DFC. Obviously will probably have a bit more appeal to the NFO community, but I'm really enjoying it. The training schema, the primitive AI gear and GCI techniques, etc. Great stuff. Plus I love Mosquitos…and now Beaufighters, I guess.The Second Luckiest Pilot was awesome: http://www.amazon.com/Second-Luckiest-Pilot-Adventures-Military-Aviation/dp/1557508216
I think BzB recommended... read through it in a day.

Can't believe no one has mentioned this one yet - a very informative and rather lengthy history of the tilt-rotor program. Love it or hate it, "The Dream Machine" chronicles the program's triumphs and tragedies with equal attention.
