Best way to fit 38mm solid maple flooring to concrete

I would really like some advice with what to do regarding this flooring so any help is very very appreciated. I went on a whim and bought some maple 38mm solid floor boards for my house. These came from a popular auction site which had been tAken out of an old factory. These boards have a tongue and groove to them but not on the ends as theyve been chop sawed at the ends. Because the boards are very old having come out of a factory theyre not straight to say the least..they may have even bowed a bit of where they have been stored..my garage. Stupid thing to do I know. So as for fitting them I dont think putting them down with adhesive wont work as if you walk on one end the other side jumps up. The floor I have is concrete which has been levelled out with latex self leveller. From reading on here could i lay some chipboard down first then nail the boards in? Or can anyone else help me decide what to do with it? Or shall I just burn it?! Thank you.
