Another one is guessed behind Chesty (James Cagney) at the end of the movie when he's reading a letter in front of the airship.

Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk

Less of ten of this parasite fighter designed for operation with USS Macon and USS Akron (two airships used as flying base / carriers) were built.

Goodyear-Zeppelin ZRS-5 USS Macon

One of the two sister ship built during the 1930's and being the world largest of its kind among helium-filled airships (785 feet / 239 meters). Commissioned on 23 June 1933 and called to active duty in 1934, the USS Macon eventually crashed into the sea on 12 February 1935 in the Monterey Bay during a storm. Only two sailors were lost.
