Researching naval aviation without hiding it behind jargon

Which of the new books stand out, and why?

The US Navy squadron books stand out for their patches and organizational material. Another academic book has good content, but its unexplained jargon and high price make it difficult to recommend to a general reader.

The US Navy squadron books bring together patches and material needed for work on naval aviation organization. A separate academic book has good content but assumes extensive specialist knowledge. It mixes 1920s aircraft and carrier air-group designations with modern terminology without explaining the differences. A viewer compares the effect to older history books that insert untranslated French and Latin, a comparison accepted in the discussion. The problem is access to the argument, even when the underlying research is useful. Price compounds that barrier: the three reference books cost about £70 together, while the academic book cost almost twice that amount, taking the four-book purchase above £200. Clear definitions and a realistic sense of the intended readership are central to the criticism.
