Chrysler SERV SSTO & Early Atlas designs

Finally got issue V5N3 of Aerospace Projects Review to the printer. The
big article this time is on the Chrysler SERV single stage to orbit
Space Shuttle competitor, with many diagrams. The second article is on
Boeing mini-jet-fighters designed to be carried by 747s, launched and
recovered in mid air (flying aircraft carriers). Third article is a
brief one showing several designs leading up to the final Atlas ICBM,
and the last is a little one on the giant Lockheed Sea Sitter sea
control flying boat.

Subtle...he's referring to the Akron and Macon, the Navy's two
dirigibles that could launch and recover aircraft in flight.
Here's a shot of one of Akron's Sparrowhawk fighters in the hanger
aboard the airship:

Here she launches a Consolidated N2Y-1 trainer:

These operations became so dependable that the Sparrowhawks later had
their landing gear removed:

I doubt I'll be first, but "parasite fighters" go back to the 1950s at
least - as I'm sure OM knows.

Way, way, further back than that; The Germans started playing around
with attaching fighters to Zeppelins in W.W. I; there are photos in the
book "The Zeppelin in Combat" by Douglas H. Robinson of a Albatross D
III fighter and torpedo carrying SSW wire-guided glide bomb being
suspended under the Zeppelin L35 for tests in February 1918.
