I *highly* recommend reading the book "Airframe." It is a novel and it is
fiction, but it is remarkably well researched fiction about a large airplane
manufacturer and an accident investigation. One of Michael Crighton's best
works in my opinion.
It's a good book, although his fictional aircraft company, Norton, is
irritating in its obvious stand-in role for Boeing. Why not just name
a real manufacturer? But I guess that would be legally difficult.
Norton just makes me think of _The Honeymooners_.
