I GOOGLED Curtiss F9C SPARROWHAWK, found a link to an AIRBOYD film on youtube showing an F9C being hoisted into the Akron (ZRS-4), the pilot climbing out and several interior shots of the Akron (ZRS-4) runs about 3 1/2 minutes)

what a feat of engineering. I can't imagine the drag factor trying to hook back up. the storage machinery almost looks "rube Goldberg" w/ all the gears, pulleys, sprockets, etc. still, i'd say pretty cutting edge technology for the era.
