I just saw this article about the last airship that was equipped to launch planes. It crashed off the coast of California in 1935. It was equipped to launch 4 Sparrowhawk biplanes. I kinda hope this inspires new madness from Clipper!

I also found this video of it recovering and launching planes. So cool!
