How critical was propaganda to national survival during the Battle of Britain? The struggle for air supremacy lasted for just sixteen weeksduring the summer and autumn of 1940, yet its outcome was vital in thwarting Hitler b2 ss invasion plans. The RAF b2 ss b1 sfighter boys b2 s, Churchill b2 ss b1 sFew b2 s, were central to that achievement, sustaining the morale of millions through their heroism. A propaganda victory within a military success, the Air Ministry daily projected their prowess through its Air Communiqéus to national and international audiences, using the press, newsreels, and radio broadcasts. Hotly debated inBritain, Germany and America, opinion hinged critically upon these b1 scricket scores b2 s, which in turn led to the rapid heroicization of the Few into legend. Propaganda organizations, the media, and censorship were key to this accomplishment and are alsoexplored in The Good Fight. Wartime feature films, art and literature further consolidated the mythicization of the Few, influencing the Battle of Britain b2 ss post-war historiography. Only more recently challenged by revisionists, these aspects too are assessed in this comprehensive, illustrated account of a key moment in Britain b2 ss history.
