V-mail was originally based on the British "Airgraph", and was an unusual and ingenious system for delivering mail from
United States troops to home addresses during
World War II. V-mail correspondence worked by photographing large amounts of
censored mail reduced to thumb-nail size onto reels of microfilm, which weighed much less than the original would have. The film reels were shipped to the US, sent to prescribed destinations for developing at a receiving station near the recipient, and printed out on lightweight photo paper. These facsimiles of the
letter-sheets were reproduced about one-quarter the original size and the miniature mail was delivered to the addressee.
