    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    The history of the design, development, and deployment of the famed WWII battleship USS Alabama!



    The fourth and final battleship in the South Dakota class, the USS Alabama served in both the Atlantic and Pacific during World War II, participating in many of the most famous battles of the war. Armed with nine 16-inch guns, 20 5-inch guns, and a myriad of 40 mm and 20 mm weapons, Alabama was one of the most powerful warships afloat.



    • Illustrates the modifications and improvements made to the ship during her service, and the battles fought by her men.

    • The battleship today is a floating museum and veterans memorial moored in Mobile Bay in her namesake state of Alabama.

    • Detailed photos capture the workings of this powerful, complex warship.


    Through carefully researched archival documents and photographs, the history of this iconic warship and the men who crewed it is presented in this profusely illustrated volume.
