No stamps were required.

We used to write on a blue self sealing airmail form nicknamed "blue-ies". I am pretty sure that they are still used today and assume that the U.S Armed Forces have something similar.

Now go write a letter! :-) @Lefty: That was a great post and an interesting piece from the Telegraph. I'd assumed that Baby Boomers would be at least semi-prolific letter writers, but apparently not. @Speedmaster: Thanks, we appreciate the response. Now go write a letter! :-)
