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

Correct Gloves, a Curtiss Seahawk.

Blimp looks like a K class

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.

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 :)
