The Battle of Britain has held an enchanted place in British
popular history and memory throughout the modern era. Its
transition from history to heritage since 1965 confirms that the
1940 narrative shaped by the State has been sustained by
historians, the media, popular culture, and through
non-governmental heritage sites, often with financing from the
National Lottery Heritage Lottery Fund. Garry Campion evaluates the
Battle's revered place in British society and its influence on
national identity, considering its historiography and revisionism;
the postwar lives of the Few, their leaders and memorialization;
its depictions on screen and in commercial products; the RAF
Museum's Battle of Britain Hall; third-sector heritage attractions;
and finally, fighter airfields, including RAF Hawkinge as a case
study. A follow-up to Campion's The Battle of Britain, 1945-1965
(Palgrave, 2015), this book offers an engaging, accessible study of
the Battle's afterlives in scholarship, memorialization, and
popular culture.
