Monday, June 5, had long been planned for launching Dday, the start of the campaign to liberate Naziheld Western Europe. Yet the fine weather leading up to the greatest invasion the world would ever see was deteriorating rapidly. Would it hold long enough for the bombers, the massed armada, and the soldiers to secure beachheads in Normandy? That was the question, and it was up to Ikes chief meteorologist, James Martin Stagg, to give him the answer.On the night of June 4, the weather hung on a knifes edge. The three weather bureaus advising Staggthe US Army Air Force, the Royal Navy, and the British Met Officeeach provided differing forecasts. Worse, leading meteorologists in the USAAF and Met Office argued stormily. Stagg had only one chance to get it right. Were he wrong, thousands of men would perish, secrecy about when and where the Allies would land would be lost, victory in Europe would be delayed for a year, and the Communists might well take control of the continent.
