Another "off the regular track" book I enjoyed was "Emergency!: Crisis in the Cockpit" by Stanley Stewart. None of it involved "survival" in the sense we discuss it but it was interesting to read about how professionals responded when all the chips were down.

Stewart's over-riding criterion when selecting these incidents was that they all be non-fatal incidents.

If you're interested in this kind of survival story, http://www.panix.com/~jac/aviation/UAL232-atc.html has transcripts of the actual conversation between United Airlines Flight 232 and Air Traffic Controllers, July 19, 1989. (This was the flight that crash-landed at Sioux City Gateway Airport after losing all three hydraulic lines in a freak accident.)
