V-mail, short for Victory Mail, was a hybrid mail process used by the United States during the Second World War as the primary and secure method to correspond with soldiers stationed abroad.
V-mail, short for “Victory mail,” was a postal system put into place during the war to free up room for other valuable supplies. Between June 1942 and November 1945, over 1 billion V-mails were processed.
Between June 15, 1942 and April 1, 1945, 556,513,795 pieces of V-mail were sent from the U.S. to military post offices and over 510 million pieces were received from military personnel abroad. In spite of the patriotic draw of V-mail, most people still sent regular first class mail.
