Victory Mail

V-Mail - 13 Aug 1944

If you are unfamiliar with V-Mail here's the Wikipedia definition: "V-mail, short for Victory Mail, is a hybrid mail process used during the Second World War in America as the primary and secure method to correspond with soldiers stationed abroad. To reduce the logistics of transferring an original letter across the military postal system, a V-mail letter would be censored, copied to film, and then printed back to paper upon arrival at its destination."
