Very interesting though, I'll have to look around further.....

Same aerials, but I think the resolution on these is slightly better -
Rhode Island Geographic Information System Data --- RIGIS Data
A few other years are available at
Historic Aerials (1955, 1963, 1970, and 2003 for Providence; varies around the state). There's even 1934 coverage for Westerly; you can see the effects of the 1938 hurricane.
