Group Captain James Stagg, Royal Air Force, was the senior meteorologist assigned to the planning group supporting Operation Overlord, the D-Day invasion from Great Britain to the Normandy coast of France on June 6, 1944, during World War II. Grp Cpt Stagg led a highly talented team of weather forecasters from the UK Meteorology Office, and successfully tracked several weather fronts from Ireland to the European Coast. His forecasts correctly identified a lull in between several storms, which allowed the landings to take place, establishing that long step to ending the reign of the German Third Reich.
