Lawrence "Benny" Goodman was originally elected to train as a pilot, and he proved so skilful that in 1942, he was posted to Canada as a flying instructor. Benny requested a return to the UK, and after retraining, became the first pilot without operational experience to be posted to No. 617 Squadron, the RAFs crack precision bombing unit. Beginning in August 1944, Benny participated in 30 operations with the squadron against important enemy targets. On 19 March 1945, he demolished the Arnsberg railway viaduct with a 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) Grand Slam bomb, and on 25 April, he attacked Hitlers Eagles Nest at Berchtesgaden.
