Only inasmuch as subsequent generations know nothing of the Battle of Britain. Believe it or not, I have worked with younger people ( ie people in their 20's and even 30's ) who have professed not to know anything at all of the events of 1940 or that Britain ever faced the prospect of invasion.

Anyone with even a passing interest in the Battle knows and respects the achievements of the 'overseas pilots'; certainly every book I have ever read about the Battle makes it very clear and the film ' Battle Of Britain ' ( regularly shown on British TV ) emphasises the role of the Poles, Czechs, Free French, etc.

And at the time of the Battle the contemporary press made much of the 'cosmopolitan' effort against the Luftwaffe for propaganda and morale reasons.
