Bismarck is arguably the most famous warship in the world. At 45,000 tonnes she and her sister ship Tirpitz were the largest and heaviest warships ever completed by any European nation. This volume features: a full description of one of the most famous warships of all time; a pictorial section showing full-view and on-board photographs; a colour guide and action painting on the jacket; more than 250 perspectives and 3-view drawings, with descriptive keys, of every detail of the ship - including general arrangements, hull structure, rigging, armament, fittings, aircraft and ship's boats; and one large-scale plan on the reverse of the fold-out jacket. It also includes a complete anatomy of the type in words, photographs and drawings.
