Keywords: 80-CF-836-21-3: V-Mail, February 23, 1943. American troops everywhere have more mail. The easiest, fastest, and best way to send it to them is to use V-Mail. Your letters are then microfilmed, flown overseas, and distributed in a much shorter time than they would be if you used regular mail. By using V-Mail when writing to Americans on the fighting fronts, you not only save time in transportation, but you also free vital cargo space on merchant ships. Six rolls of microfilm containing more than 10,000 V-Mail letters weighing only two pounds, 10 ounces, get personnel attention from Lieutenant Junior Grade Frances Rich as a Yeoman delivers the package to Lieutenant W.Van Bracht, a U.S. Navy Pilot. The same number of letters, if handled in customary form, would weigh more than 200 pounds, and take a lot more time to reach the destination. That’s why thousands are using V-Mail.
