Product Description
The entertaining autobiography of a life full of contrasts. An active and radical politician from an early age, Ernest Millington joined the short-lived CommonWealth Party and became a reluctant Member of Parliament in 1945. To do so, he left the R.A.F. where he had become a Wing Commander in Bomber Command. His formal education ended at sixteen, but he went on to become a teacher in some of the toughest classrooms of inner city London. From the vivid accounts of piloting Lancaster bombers to anecdotes about the legendary figures of Atlee's Government, this book offers readers of all ages a personal portrait of Britain in the twentieth century.
About the Author
Thrown out of his home at sixteen, in 1944 Ernest Millington became a Wing Commander. A by-election in 1945 while the War was still underway made him the youngest - and most reluctant - Member of Parliament, and the only elected representative of the left-wing CommonWealth Party. This is his story. It's a life that has led from Essex to the Dordogne via Bomber Command, the House of Commons, a third career teaching in inner London - to a happy retirement in France.
