Space Shuttle: The History of the National Space Transportation System by Dennis R Jenkins. It is very detailed (in some ways almost a Space Shuttle technical manual) and extremely well illustrated history of the entire history of the United State's efforts to develop a reuseable space transportation system (from WW2 on), and I consider it very much worth it's 43$ price.

Test pilots: The story of British test flying, 1903-1984 (Willow books) Don H. Middleton, Willow Books (Collins), 1985; ISBN 0-00-218098-7. Black & White, with B&W Pictures. A very readable account of test flying from a pilot's point of view; Written in a very "British" way and reinforced with a lot of anecdotes, this is concentrates on mainly first and second world war aircraft through to early jets/post war work, probably because those were the golden ages of test piloting and new aircraft design.
