Fascinating stuff. If I didn't know better, I'd suspect that the bottom left aircraft in the middle photo is the XP-83 or the F-89, but the F-89 started out as a swept-wing design and had two crew off the bat; the upper left image in the last image is probably either a progenitor of the XB-53, which was inspired by the Cornelius Mallard, there were several attempts into this field including aircraft that had some resemblances to the Bugatti R-100 racer (which might explain the upper aircraft in the middle-photo.

The one at the top right of the 2nd group photo looks sort of like a Leduc 0.10 or 0.21. Some very odd things in there, I need to dig out my reference books...

The plane shown in the upper left corner of the middle picture reminds me of some ram jet experiments the government did in the 1950's, but overall, I think we're just looking at a bunch of ideas for future aircraft that hadn't gone much beyond the "idea" stage, at that point in time.
