D-Day 70 – Pt.4 – Operation ARGUMENT: A B-17 Flying Fortress Navigator’s Story

by Elliott Marsh
Lieutenant Carroll 'Ted' Binder was a B-17 Flying Fortress navigator with the 358th Bombardment Squadron of the 303rd Bombardment Group (Heavy), based at RAF Molesworth. On 20 February 1944, the start of Operation ARGUMENT's "Big Week", Lt. Binder's B-17 was one of more than 1,000 bombers tasked with attacking industrial targets in Germany in what was then the largest raid mounted by the US Eighth Air Force. This is the story of Lt. Binder's first operational mission, as written in his personal diary.
