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.
