Yes, the Ford Tri-motor is also capable of landing and taking off on water. This video shows a water flying test. The first Ford tri-motor on floats was 1077 which now lives in Minnesota! This is from the archives at HistoricAviation.com.
I cannot imagine the arsenate of lead was all that good for the environemnt either. It is amazing what humans tried back in the day. Beautiful plan though, wish there were more.
I'm amazed that the spruce budworm was such an issue way back in the thirties that the Canadian gov't would spray for it. It' s decimating BC's forests right now and the impression one gets from TV is that it's a new problem.
