Have you ever wondered how important the weather forecast was for ensuring that D-Day would be a successful Allied military operation? I certainly hadn’t until recently, but I probably should have. Watching the forecast is one of the happiest parts of my day, after all! Thus, I shouldn’t at all be surprised that I enjoyed the movie Pressure as much as I did. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I would now like to read a multi-volume biography of Group Captain James Stagg and see many more films about historical events from the POV of the meteorologists.
