Fellow blogger Bayou Renaissance Man brought my attention to an article by Vintage Wings of Canada that I found particularly interesting in that many combat aircraft we're familiar with were equipped with both skis and floats.
While the US and the UK tested the concept Germany, Japan, the Soviet Union used these aircraft in combat. The article contains numerous pictures with dates and details and is well worth the read. To wet your appetite I'll post some pics from the article. If you need to know what you're looking at, follow the link below.
