Angelo Romano Rules!

 Angelo Romano has been creating excellent books on U.S. Navy operating units since at least 2004. He has an enormous and well-organized collection of photos (some of which he has taken himself over the years); books and documents; and an address book of subject-matter experts second to none. His latest, published in conjunction with Ginter Books, is World Class Diamondbacks, A Pictorial History of Strike Fighter Squadron 102 (VFA-102):

It is available from Ginter Books: http://www.ginterbooks.com/NAVAL/NF306/USN_SQ_Hist_306.htm

You can buy with confidence that it is as comprehensive, informative, beautifully illustrated, and high-quality as his other books.

I’ve written brief reviews about most of them, which probably don’t do them justice; I’ve assumed that if you have any interest in the subject matter, you will not hesitate to buy any of them:
