T-shirt Design Brief
The U.S. Navy once had 2 flying aircraft carriers. They were huge rigid airships (zeppelins) that could launch and retrieve biplanes while in flight. I want a shirt that looks cool in a patriotic Americana red, white and blue style while also presenting this obscure bit of aviation history. Review attached images. Paintings are included for proper colors. This must be in color.
1) The design MUST capture an accurate/realistic appearance of the airship from an angled perspective so that it fills much of the design and fully displays the airship with the "U.S. Navy" visible on the side at an angle.
2) Include some of the biplanes with at least one connecting to the bottom of the airship and another appearing larger in the foreground.
3) View the attached images or look up "Macon Airship" or "Akron Airship" on Google for further examples and understanding of the airship. Would like a full view to include nose, propellers, biplane hook, and tail fins as viewed from an angled perspective.
4) Top or bottom of the design add:
"Sept. 23, 1931 - Feb. 12, 1935" as the date range for flight operations between both airships.
5) If any style is added to the background and fonts it should fit with a patriotic red, white and blue "Americana" style.
6) If you can produce a realistic representation of the airship from a different perspective than any of the attached examples while still matching the criteria above then you'll have the best shot at winning.
BONUS POINTS) Somewhere within the design add the text "Before the Avengers, we had REAL flying aircraft carriers" in a stylized way that compliments the design and adds historical context.
Updates
There are maybe 3 or 4 decent designs that are on the right track, but plenty of room for a pro to swoop in at the last minute. Most of the designs I've given feedback to are headed in the right direction. Looking forward to seeing updates and new design entries. Thanks!

Ideally will want designs to be vector or else a large enough resolution (at least 4,100 px by 5,400 px) so that the design can be adjusted and resized if necessary without losing quality. Thanks!

Requirements
Must have
- Realistic full-color portrayal of the airship at an angle that presents the most detail.
Nice to have
- Additional historical context provided in text. See description. "flying aircraft carriers"
Should not have
- Too many designers make rigid airships look like flimsy little blimps. Don't do that. These were massive rigid structures that flew. They were literal flying ships.
