PHOTOGRAPHED LETTERS ON WINGS:
How Microfilmed V-Mail Helped Win World War II Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 7 pm Tom Weiner will speak on his book, PHOTOGRAPHED LETTERS ON WINGS: How Microfilmed V-Mail Helped Win World War II. The book tells the heretofore untold story of the mail - close to 2 billion letters - that was sent to and from the many fronts of the war using microfilm. The use of V-Mail freed up space for troops and supplies on transport planes; 1600 letters could fit on one small reel. The letters were reduced in size at the point of origin and once they reached their destination they were enlarged and delivered to the recipient. Learn More |
