Source for old air navigation charts?

[Bill Carson]

I'm not a pilot, but am looking for any sources of old
air navigation charts for the USA. I am looking for
charts solely for Washington state that were published
from the 40's through the 60's.

Anyone know of a source, or at least where to start
looking?

Thanks,

Bill

Did you ask them to give the old ones to you instead of throwing them
away?

I have no idea. I thought you just wanted to obtain obsolete charts.

Now I get the impression you want to look at REAL old charts. Is that
the case?

Have you checked with the Museum at Boeing Field, Seattle?

Might not hurt to check with the Boeing Company, too.
