Caveats, this site is in Russia as you can see by the domain and it is a bit difficult to navigate at first. Ads abound but I'm not receiving any pop-ups.

BUT it is one of the largest collections/ aggregates of aviation art I've seen. Some of them come with bits of history.

This link takes you to a B-29 of the RAF circa 1950:

Page navigation:
- At the top is the Archive section. Select your period and airframe type.
- On the left are the various airframes, you'll usually have to scroll down. Click one like our B-29 link.
- In the center of the screen (I'm on IE) you'll see the airframe and under it are countries followed by a number in brackets. That's the number of images available. Click a country and the images appear on the right side of your screen.

B-29's for the US:

Click on an individual a/c or a page number to see the examples.
