In civilian life, Lt Ellington was an elementary school teacher.
He entered the military out of Fort Bragg, NC in 1942, and was trained as a pilot at Tuskegee Army Air Field. Lt. Ellington flew with the 332nd Fighter Group, 99th Fighter Squadron piloting its P-51D Mustang in the European skies.
Ellington was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his bravery as a pilot in 1944.
In 1943, Lt. Ellington married Marie Antoinette Hawkins, but they divorced after 7 months. (Marie Antoinette ultimately became the wife of the famous singer, Nat "King" Cole.)
He was killed with another pilot, Lt Richard Hall in a plane crash during a training exercise at Crystal Lake, Georgia in 1945.
