V-Disc forever lost in my basement. Probing the history of these discs and 78rpm records has been a fascinating journey for me. I just wish I had the space to store and organize as you have done. Great job.
Follow Ups:
I have several Billie Holiday V-Discs, and many of the other top musicians of the day. Frank Sinatra in particular was very prolific and enthusiastically supported the V-Disc effort.
My first V-Discs (a half dozen) were acquired among a collection of about 1,200 records I purchased years ago. About a year ago, a lady in Las Vegas posted a for-sale offer on the RCG (Record Collector's Guild) website. She had about 170 V-Discs to sell. After several phone calls we agreed on a price and she shipped three large & heavy boxes of V-Discs to me in Wyoming via Media Mail.
It's been a fascinating journey exploring all this wonderful music performed and recorded for the troops.

Yes, I do remember this news story. I hope those records have found a good home and are being preserved.
