Ex-USS Alabama (BB-8)
Montage of six photographs taken during the early phases of September
1921 aerial bombing tests in which the former USS Alabama
was the target.
These views show the ship before the bombing began, a U.S. Army
Martin bomber laying a smoke screen near the ship, and smoke
screens near the ship and enveloping her.
