Red for Danger
A history of accidents on British Railways.
Enjoyable and fascinating, although he assumes a certain amount of prior knowledge on railway signalling systems, eg blocking and linking...? Amazing death toll.

The Aeronauts
A much better history of ballooning.
Yep, covers everything. Unlike that terrible Holmes book.
