I just saw @retroscifiart's tweet with a neat illustration with lots of spaceships from different movies. Art by Philippe “Manchu" Bouchet.

Some of the spaceships are familiar for me, but not all. I would like to know about all of them.

To make it simple, I've added numbers to the image.

    #3 looks pretty Flash Gordon-y, maybe comic strip rather than 1930s serial or 1980 movie. – algomeysa2 Nov 16 '19 at 10:10

    Why has this been marked down? It answers the question and provides evidence and a link with further information. Looks good to me. – Paul Johnson Nov 16 '19 at 17:09

Number 3 appears to be "Lingan's ship" from a 1938 Flash Gordon comic (scroll down to the 6th picture):
