aerograms
Foldable airmail sheets
Aerograms are lightweight letters designed for international airmail, with the paper folding into its own envelope to minimize weight and postage costs.
The format was popular before email made international correspondence instant: She sent aerograms home every week during her year abroad.
Also spelled aerogrammes.
