I came across this Pen & Sword book: Voices in Flight: The Royal Naval Air Services during WWI £4.99 on Kindle. Written by former FAA AEO Malcolm Smith based on anecdotes"drawn from the extensive archive maintained by the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton". I think it is just pilots though. "He includes first-hand testimonies from pilots manning early seaplane stations."

I haven't read much about the RNAS since BRNC but I am going to buy this myself.

The following was in the bibliography of a history of the FAA I have:
The Navy Records Society (navyrecords.org.uk) published (in 1969) Documents relating to the Royal Naval Air Service , Volume I, 1908-1918 Edited by the RN Official Historian Capt. Stephen Roskill - I believe it is now available online to members (£40 per annum). "The documents are largely from the National Archives, with a small minority from personal collections in repositories such as Kings College London and the National Maritime Museum."

An internet search on 'Royal Naval Air Service books' returned quite a few others
