As far as I know, there aren't any general review articles or books specifically relating to this period.. The Wikipedia article "field electron emission" has a brief overview, and an even briefer one can be found by googling "Forbes Tutorial lecture". There are some specialist science-oriented reviews, of which the best are probably the Gadzuk and Plummer article on "Field emission energy distributions" and the Modinos textbook on "Field, Thermionic and Secondary Electron Emission Spectroscopy" (recently re-published by Springer). Later, there is the Jensen 2007 article (really a book) on "Electron Emission Physics".  There is review literature on displays, but this is strongly focussed towards applications rather than the underlying science.

There is also book by George Fursey "Field Emission in Vacuum Microelectronics" from 2003. I think there is a new updated edition. It has its own short historical overview and in preface there is list of other reviews beginning form Dyke's in 50s up to 90s.
