## Resource

In 1945, Congress launched a daring scientific mission to crack the code of thunderstorms—critical for aviation safety in the postwar era. Pilots flew into deadly storms as living instruments, gathering vital data on updrafts and downdrafts, a mission ranked just behind the atomic bomb tests. Hand-analyzed findings became the bedrock of modern meteorology. Starting in Florida and moving to Wilmington, Ohio, the project’s bravery and precision still shape how we understand weather today—with one historic plane preserved at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force and a historical marker honoring the pioneers who risked everything for science.
