The real credit for the decision to postpone the D-Day landings should go to the keepers of a little lighthouse on the west coast of Ireland.

He was way ahead of his time and of the US meterologists - see the play 'Pressure' for a brilliant portrayal of the story of how his stubbornness own over Eisenhower.
