This is a couple of examples of
"V-Mail." On the left is a letter home from Albert Freitas.
A letter written on standard size V-Mail was reduced to a 3 mil.
film, then enlarged on paper to the size shown when it reached U.S.
A. The letters were censored. Return mail was to an APO
number; either New York or San Francisco. The letter on the
right is to Albert Freitas parents from Leo Callahan. "Cal"
was on a march from Nurnburg in April 1945 and managed to escape to
the front lines and spent time with the troops and then got to
Paris. After that a plane ride back to Thorpe Abbots for a
"hero's" welcome. Photos courtesy of Albert Freitas |

Mary Jane 1943 Mary Jane was
special and liked by all. She was invited for a joy ride on a
B-17; seems the plane wouldn't lift off. The fortress sped
past the runway and into a wooded area. The aircraft hit the
trees and severed both wings while the fuselage slid on to a safe
stop - far from the roaring fire on the wings.
