On D-Day, 6 June 1944, Allied forces launched a combined naval, air and land assault on Nazi-occupied France, changing the course of history. But - a day earlier, 77 years ago, one of the most important weather forecasts in history was made. Group Capt.

Had they attacked June 5, bad weather would have jeopardized the entire operation, and quite possibly, the entire war. Want to learn more about D-Day?
