| More pics about the Winter War to complete the serie, some in lower quality but still interesting. From Squadron Signal Publications - Finnish Air Forces 1939-1945. I wrote back the texts inside pics.       And many thanks for the pictures of german and US warbirds on skis, there some I never saw before.  |

| Very interesting document, thank you. The quality make me think about the Fokker Found's standard. I've found some more pictures this week-end. From "Soviet Combat Aircraft of the WW2" - Vol.1, Single-Engined Fighters - by Yefim Gordon & Dmitri Khazanov. -2 views of the 5th B-1 fitted with retractable ski landing gear.   -Front view of the first I-26 prototype made by Yakovlev.  -Nice picture of the SK-2 prototype. This elegant aircraft was a creation of Matus Bisnovat. The first prototype had a closed "buried" cockpit with 2 position modes, flight and landing/take off with a retractable windscreen !  -Front view of the Yak-1 (No 3855) in snow camouflage displayed on page 2, this Yak was used to test ski landing gear undercarriage. Note the 6x RS-82 rockets.  -Interesting profile photo of a Yak-7V convertion trainer. Undercarriage bay was partially faired over.  More commun now, from Squadron Signal Publication - Petlyakov Pe-2. Close view of the skis of the Pe-2 serie 11 presented by Microw on page 2, note the shape of the skis used as landing gear bay door.  Another view of the Pe-2 serie 1 presented by Wurger, the retractable tail ski is more visible on it.  Enjoy. Last edited by Tao-san; 08-11-2008 at 12:13 PM. |

Su-26  Also the Convair Sea Dart had Water Skis. Does that count?  Last edited by Flyboy2; 06-06-2009 at 06:24 PM. | |

| The mig is new though the skis look awfully fragile to be used on snow considering the size. Not sure whats up with that.
