You're right. Jumped the gun trying to be first. Second (and final) guess is Curtiss Seahawk.

For sure.

Correct Gloves, a Curtiss Seahawk.

Blimp looks like a K class

It's a Curtiss SC Seahawk with the Wright 1820-62

Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk, Single-seat Shipborne Scout (Wright R-1820-62 Engine)

Seahawk first reported in action with the US Fleet in the pre-invasion bombardment of Borneo in June, 1945. Seahawk replace the Kingfisher and Seamew before War was ended. It's excellent Seaplane.

Also, there's a "US NAVY" Blimp back there, unknow class.

No it doesn't... looks more P-47 with its outer shape.

Seahawk, it is:)

................

It does apear to be a "K" Class Blimp but it is hard for me to be certain at this distance.

The real freaks can guess the ship on which the seahawk is being hoisted on
