The United States Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer) Design 124 was a parasite fighter concept drawn in 1933 as a replacement for the Curtiss F9C-2 Sparrowhawk biplanes then in service on the Navy's airships. A fighter monoplane, it can be deployed mid-air by a large airship as an advantage but only gives a light edge in terms of speed, practically making it obsolete at the time.
