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.
