An Enduring Legacy?: Battle of Britain Airfields.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.World War, 1939-1945Military historyCivilizationHistoryHistory of World War II and the Holocausthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717110History of Militaryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000History of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Cultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000History of Modern Europehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717080Great BritainHistoryEuropeHistory1492-World War, 1939-1945.Military history.CivilizationHistory.History of World War II and the Holocaust.History of Military.History of Britain and Ireland.Cultural History.History of Modern Europe.940.53Campion Garryauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1079672MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483572803321The Battle of Britain in the Modern Age, 1965–20202592339UNINA
