Leonard Tomaszewski ~ V-Mail - I'm Okay!
V-mail stands for Victory Mail. It is also the way soldiers and their families can send letters back and forth securely during the war. Kodak developed this process. V-mail is inspected for flaws on an enlarging "reader" at the Pentagon building, Washington, D.C. V-mail is available to and from the armed forces stationed outside the United States. It is just a fraction of the weight of ordinary mail and saves precious cargo space required for ordinary letters. 1,600 letters can be placed on a roll of film about the size of a pack of cigarettes.
