This book is filled with photos of all the various versions of the Blackhawk/Seahawk. Interior and exterior shots of the UH-60A, SH-60B, -60F, -60H, -60L, and -60Q are all shown, and differences in the versions are shown and explained. There are also several good drawings and tables with stats.

This review is from: UH-60 Blackhawk - Walk Around No. 19 (Paperback)

Keep in mind this book is 10 years old. It alternates color and B&W pages and the B&W pictures aren't high-quality. It gives a decent overview for each variant, but by no means a comprehensive walkaround for any of them.
