Description: | Select Guide Rating Organised by class, Battleships of World War I and World War II offers a highly-illustrated guide to the main battleships used by both sides during the conflicts of the 20th century. Packed with 110 artworks with detailed specifications, it is a key reference for both naval modellers and WWI and WWII enthusiasts. For centuries, battleships provided overwhelming firepower at sea. They were not only a major instrument of warfare, but a visible emblem of a nation’s power, wealth and pride. The rise of the aircraft carrier following the Japanese aerial strike on Pearl Harbor in 1941 highlighted the vulnerabilities of the battleship, bringing about its demise as a dominant class of warship. |
