Summary[edit]

Description

This unique batch of WW2 images appear to be an 'official' pictorial essay about the Airgraph, a film based system used to save weight to send hundreds of thousands of letters to and from troops overseas during WW2.

Check the full set for examples of letters, the machinery used, and the people who processed them.
