A Republic RC-3 Seabee taxis past a Martin JRM Mars water bomber in the background on Lake Winnebago, Missouri. Note the small skiff parked alongside the Mars's fuselage. It is loaded with water pumps that had been working nonstop over the previous few days to keep the aircraft afloat following a landing incident that resulted in a significant tear in the flying boat's keel.
