I have found data can be garnered from magazines as well as books.

The service  organizations of the military have some great information in them if you can get ahold of them.  Also our Memorial sites magazines have data.  So you may not  get to the site but you can  learn a lot by joining the organization. Especially if you know the person was service orientated and which one.  

We recently got one that had much data on my husbands units to our shock and delight.

Karen Y. If you read this  do you know if your brother would have such a list aboard the carrier USS Midway.?

If you want the names of some you can contact me also. Each service does have data.
