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

Harry and Ethel Rayner and "Flossy" 8 Jun 43  Friends to all 350th guys.  They were special - their house was my house away from home.  Contact was maintained until they past on in the late 1950's.   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.     Photos courtesy of Albert Freitas
