This is a "V-Mail" cover. V-Mail (Victory Mail) was also known as Airgraph service. Special airgraph forms were distributed to military staff during WWII. The forms were microfilmed to reduce weight and volume in airmail service. In the country of destination the microfilm was printed and posted in the special cover shown above.
Airgraphs can be seen as a precursor of aerogrammes as they share the objective to provide "light weight" air mail services.
Below is the printout.
