Item no. P62 (cover)

Type: cover

Country: Great Britain

Date of use: 18 August 1943

Cover (with original letter) of an AIRGRAPH correspondence. The AIRGRAPH Service was used during World War II, like the V-MAIL SERVICE in the USA, to keep British soldiers serving abroad in touch with their relatives or friends.
The service consisted in letters written on a pre-printed forms that were then microfilmed and sent as negative films to destination places. Later on they were enlarged and copied on photographic paper, and sent in special covers to individual addressees.
