This new, updated edition of The Battle of Britain on Screen
examines in depth the origins, development and reception of the
major dramatic screen representations of 'The Few' in the Battle of
Britain produced over the past 75 years. Paul MacKenzie explores
both continuity and change in the presentation of a wartime event
that acquired and retains near-mythical dimensions in popular
consciousness and has been represented many times in feature films
and television dramas. Alongside relevant technical developments,
the book also examines the social, cultural, and political changes
occurring in the second half of the 20th century and first decade
of current century that helped shape how the battle came to be
framed dramatically. This edition contains a new chapter looking at
the portrayal of the Battle of Britain at the time of its 70th
anniversary. Through its perceptive demonstration of how our memory
of the battle has been constantly reshaped through film and
television, The Battle of Britain on Screen provides students of
the Second World War, 20th-century Britain and film history with a
thorough and complex understanding of an iconic historical event.
