An Enduring Legacy?: Battle of Britain Airfields. 330 $aThe 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. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717110 606 $aHistory of Military$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717080 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y1492- 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 615 24$aHistory of Military. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 676 $a940.53 700 $aCampion$b Garry$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01079672 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483572803321 996 $aThe Battle of Britain in the Modern Age, 1965?2020$92592339 997 $aUNINA
