I haven't read Flight of the Intruder so I don't know if this is
comparable, but it doesn't get much more specific about what's
happening in the civilian cockpit than "Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest
K. Gann. Not a novel, but still an excellent read.
I haven't personally read it, but "The High and the Mighty" (which is
a novel) by the same author has an even better reputation for putting
you in the cockpit with the characters. I really need to get around to
reading it sometime.
