But ask Nimitz, and he'd probably say "Why should I want to breath fire? If I want something burnt, I ask my two-legs to do it. Same thing if I want to fly. I just hitch a ride."

I use a Science Fantasy genre tag within Calibre for such books like the Pellucidar, Barsoom and Venus series by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
He tended to be the master of mixing fantasy elements with science/technology elements.

There's a whole line of them. Leigh Brackett mined that territory. So did C. L. Moore
And you can argue that a fair number of books that could be called SF when written have become Science Fantasy now, simply because we've learned better, and we're aware, for example, that there isn't a habitable surface under the clouds of Venus.

Another more recent example of that genre would be the Hells Gate series by David Weber and Linda Evans.
