Reminds me of a great book I read some years ago called "From The Jaws of Victory".

Another fun book along those same lines is "The Wrong Stuff: Flying on the Edge of Disaster".  It was written by a former Navy test pilot and has some truly amazing anecdotes.  (It's available from Amazon, probably other sites as well.)  The one that really got me was a set of tests where the pilot intentionally landed a Grumman F9F, gear up, on a rubber deck.
