Need Aerial Photos of Warsaw for 9.39 Painting

Hello

I'm soon going to be commissioning a series of about five major fine art paintings of the most important air combat events of the Polish Campaign of Sept, 1939 for a forthcoming major book series. Right now I'm looking for aerial photos of the Warsaw area that were taken from the late 1920s through the early 1940s, but definitely before Warsaw was badly destroyed during the 1944 uprising. Does anyone have or know where I can find reference material on this subject? One of the paintings will probably be one of the very early raids of Warsaw by the Luftwaffe with the incoming raid being engaged by the Polish Pursuit Brigade.

I'm also open to suggestions of other major events that could or should be portrayed in such a book series. The Radom area on Sept. 3rd?

Thanx
