General Albert Boyd

Hello everyone

Since a few years now I am doing a lot of research about pilots that established outright speed records. One of them is Albert Boyd who in 1947 established a new record for the United States. He was flying the Lockheed XP-80R 'Racey' to a top speed of 623.85 mph above Muroc Field.
On the internet I found his biography but it would be very useful if someone would have some additional details about this particularly speed flight or some pictures to share. Maybe an aviation magazine already published some material?
Many thanks for your help,

Bart
