Garry Campion Knihy

Focusing on the Battle of Britain's lasting impact, the book explores its evolution from historical event to a significant aspect of British heritage since 1965. Garry Campion analyzes how this narrative has been shaped by various influences, including historians, media, and cultural representations. He examines the postwar experiences of key figures, memorialization efforts, and the role of heritage sites like the RAF Museum. The study includes a case study of RAF Hawkinge, providing insight into the battle's influence on national identity and memory.

Seventy-five years after the Battle of Britain, the Few's role in preventing invasion continues to enjoy a revered place in popular memory. The Air Ministry were central to the Battle's valorisation. This book explores both this, and also the now forgotten 1940 Battle of the Barges mounted by RAF bombers.
