Welcome! keep posting whenever you can and join in on what you can, even if it is to ask questions or offer an opinion. A cople of excellent book (I can't tell you if they are still in print) are
1. "Deep Black" by William E. Burrows ISBN 0-425-10879-1 About the U.S. Spy Satellite programs including the precursor balloon projects. Excellent, but a little dry.
2. "A Man On The Moon" by Andrew Chaikin ISBN 0-14-00.9706-6 (pbk) About the entire Apollo program. THE best account of the beginning to end of the most ambitious undertaking by people that had to figure out what to do, how to do it, how to build it, how to fly it , and how to manage it from Kennedy's simple statement to "put a man on the moon by the end of the decade". It will make most whining managers and supervisors shut up when they compare challenges and outcomes to what they face day-to-day. It gives awesome accounts of each Apollo flight, including insight never before provided.
as far as NavAir stuff, I've got some excellent pictures of SEALs under canopy, and fast roping from helos - does that count?
