| 释义 |
Educated at Wyggeston Grammar School in Leicester, and the Royal Grammar School in Worcester, Cooper joined the Auxiliary Air Force in 1933, and served as a pilot with the Royal Air Force during World War II, initially with Fighter Command, then after a period with the British Overseas Airways Corporation, he returned to action in the Coastal Command, leaving the force as a wing commander.[2] Cooper was elected as the Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Middlesbrough West in 1945. On the train back to London, he happened to travel from Darlington with James Chuter Ede, who was shortly to become Home Secretary. Ede found him ‘a very bright intelligent man … if all our Service members are like him we have secured a great improvement’ in Labour MPs. [3] In 1951, he stood down from Parliament [1][4]. He later emigrated to the Bahamas, where he became the president of a development company.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/article/oupww/whowaswho/U171817 |title=COOPER, Wing Comdr Geoffrey |work=Who Was Who |publisher=A & C Black |date=1920–2008 |accessdate=2011-02-12}} {{S-start}}{{s-par|uk}}{{Succession box2. ^1 {{cite book |last1=Stenton |first1=Michael |last2=Lees |first2=Stephen |title=Who's Who of British Members of Parliament |volume=IV |date=1981 |publisher=Harvester Press |location=Brighton |pages=69–70}} 3. ^ Chuter Ede diary, 27 July 1945, unpublished manuscript in British Library. 4. ^{{Rayment-hc|M|2|date=March 2012}} | title = Member of Parliament for Middlesbrough West | years = 1945 – 1951 | before = Don Bennett | after = Jocelyn Simon }}{{S-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Cooper, Geoffrey}}{{England-Labour-UK-MP-stub}} 5 : 1907 births|1995 deaths|UK MPs 1945–50|UK MPs 1950–51|Labour Party (UK) MPs for English constituencies |
