Introducing a Timeline Graphic and clarifying intermediate start/end dates

I'm looking at making a graphic/timeline to improve the visual representation of this 'Big Nap' page. It has specific dates like the end of WWII and Feb 20th for beginnings & ends of the overarching period but not specific dates for the intermediate parts. From this article I was able to locate the beginnings of the "mysterious transition" and I referenced this record for the end of the 73/74 crash.

I'd like someone like User:Aardvark to approve this or bring it to someone who can.

There are several timeline solutions for Mediawiki. Wikipedia uses the EasyTimeline (examples) and Graph (examples) extensions. The Graph extension aims to replace EasyTimeline. Alternatively, there is the Interactive Timeline (examples) extension which works and seems nicer style-wise, but is no longer actively maintained.
