Default Looking for 1950’s - 1960’s posters/pictures

I have permission from the spousal unit to spruce up the at home office/I love me room and I’ve been looking for 1940’s-1970’s aviation pictures.
Especially B29-Bell X1, Scott Crossfield pictures.
Record setting F104 and so on.
Major achievements.
Some examples:







Any idea where I can find that sort of stuff? Either buy or download large enough image files that would give acceptable 2’x3’ or larger images.

Try:

1. Base Historian at Edwards AFB.

2. Historian at the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB.

3. There might be a historian at Navy China Lake; could also try Navy Museum at Pensacola, but in my experience, the Navy usually doesn’t have those types of offices.

4. Commercial site, such as Skegworks...lots of cool plane pics, but tend to new shots of restored warbirds.

5. General web-search.

Good hunting!

When I was in college, Fertile Myrtle (Navy B-29 variant used with the D-558) was flying from KOAK, which was 5 miles from my house.
