I do hope the person or persons tasked with the weather forecast for the drop will have adequate insurance
Gp Capt J Stagg seemed to manage well enough, and without all the modern day gizmos. Now that was a tough call! Eisenhower carried a speech around in his pocket in case D-Day failed and we were turned back. If the forecast had been pants and many men had needlessly died as a result, I wonder what he carried around with him? A service revolver with one chambered?
