2015 marks the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
Through iconic images such as Guy Hamilton’s 1969 film "The Battle of Britain", the Battle maintains a specific place in British collective memory. Furthermore, the Battle of Britain is one of the most celebrated events in the history of the Royal Air Force due to the role of Fighter Command in defending the nation against the threat of invasion in 1940. Recently, however, historians have begun to question some of the myths that surround this important event in British history.
