TaleSpin (Animated series), 1990

TaleSpin is set in the fictional City of Cape Suzette (a pun on the dish Crêpe Suzette), in a fictional country called Usland. [...] The time frame of the series is never specifically addressed, but appears to be in the mid-to-late 1930s. The helicopter, television and jet engine are experimental devices, and most architecture is reminiscent of the Art Deco style of that period. In one episode, Baloo comments that "The Great War ended 20 years ago," suggesting that the series specifically takes place in 1938. Radio is the primary mass medium, and one episode even briefly alludes to the characters having never heard of television. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TaleSpin

I don't know if this enters into the topic's category and I didn't find it posted before, so here it goes.

Sure, fits the retro-fiction theme perfectly! Thank you, CC_Tofolo

Art Deco [...] is an influential visual arts design style which first appeared in France after WWI, flourishing internationally in the 1930s and 1940s before its popularity waned after World War II. It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colors, bold geometric shapes, and lavish ornamentation.

Deco emerged from the Interwar period when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. This distinguishes Deco from the organic motifs favored by its predecessor Art Nouveau. [...]

Deco was heavily influenced by pre-modern art from around the world [...]. During the 1920s affordable travel permitted in situ exposure to other cultures. There was also popular interest in archeology due to excavations at Pompeii, Troy, the tomb of Tutankhamun etc. Artists and designers integrated motifs from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, Asia, Mesoamerica, and Oceania with Machine Age elements. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Deco

Though some aircraft might look like Dieselpunk creations they were nevertheless real aircraft. Many of the fictional Diesel/Steampunk planes are obviously inspired by some of weird experimental aircraft or X-planes designed during and after World War II.

The first Steampunk aircraft :


Ader Avion III - The Steam-powered Aircraft



The Avion III was a primitive steam-powered aircraft built by Clément Ader between 1892 and 1897, financed by the French War Office.

Retaining the same basic bat-like configuration of the Éole, the Avion III was equipped with two engines driving two propellers. While the earlier aircraft had no means of directional control at all, this one was equipped with a small rudder.

Trials of the aircraft began at the Satory army base near Versailles on 12 October 1897, with the aircraft taxiing along a circular track. The first flight was attempted on 14 October and most sources agree ended almost immediately in a crash without ever leaving the ground. Late in his life, Ader would claim that there had been a flight of 100 m (328 ft) on this day, and said he had two witnesses to confirm it. Whatever actually happened, the French military was unimpressed with the demonstration and cancelled any further funding.

The machine is preserved at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. It underwent extensive restoration in the 1980s. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ader_Avion_III

Captain America: The First Avenger (Film), 2011




I work as a conceptual artist in the motion picture industry. A conceptual artist, under the direction of a Production Designer creates the look of a film, (i.e.: setting, scope and mood,) as opposed to a storyboard artist, who deals with action and pacing. The images here were all illustrations for feature films and television. Normally, we work from a script, translating the written page into sets that can be built and photographed. Sometimes, there are actual locations that must be modified in a painting. Sometimes we are allowed to create completely from our own imagination. - Nathan Schroeder





Captain America
This was another great opportunity to work with my idol, Joe Johnston, whom I have admired since his days working on the original STAR WARS. Rick Heinrichs designed this film which takes place during WWII. Nazis, secret airplanes, the World's Fair -¿½ l the stuff that makes for a great action film, and a thoroughly wonderful time spent illustrating. - Nathan Schroeder

The Avengers (film), 2012




Avengers
Avengers was my seventh Marvel film, counting the Xmen and Fantastic Four movies, and my first film working with Designer James Chinlund; but it was quite possibly the most enjoyable. James was very open to collaboration and eager to embrace 3D modeling technologies. This allowed us to refine the sets we were developing by moving around and viewing from many different angles. For the Director, this means that there's not going to be just one sweet spot for the camera, but he can confidently move about and find many dynamic shots. This really paid off with the Helicarrier, which was a very satisfying model to develop, and an especially impressive set piece in the film. - Nathan Schroeder

Experimental Aircraft - German projects:

After the surrender of Nazi Germany several of the secret or unfinished projects of German military aircraft gained wide publicity. [...] As a consequence, a myth developed about the technological achievements of the Third Reich and about “Nazi secret weapons” still shrouded in mystery. The legend was partly based on truth, but certain non genuine drawings and pictures of German weapons appeared in the intervening decades in certain more or less dodgy books and magazines. In order to make the forged Nazi projects more plausible these were mostly displayed along with diagrams and data of legitimate designs. Directed towards a public too ready to accept such portrayals as true, aircraft like the Messerschmitt Zerstörer or the Messerschmitt P.1079 Schwalbe for example, have been given wide publicity despite the fact that they are of dubious authenticity.

German aircraft manufacturers such as Henschel in Kassel had their archives destroyed in the course of the Allied bombing of the Third Reich at the end of World War II. Hence some of the late Henschel projects that were recreated later are based on documents found in other locations or on second-hand sources and not on the original Henschel technical drawings. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Luftwaffe_aircraft_prototype_projects_during_World_War_II#Legitimacy_of_German_projects
