A complete catalog of all 132 Frank Sinatra V-Disc ("Victory Disc") tracks, 1941 through 1948, spanning both the Army and Navy V-Disc series produced for U.S. servicemembers overseas during and just after World War II. V-Discs were never sold commercially; many of the underlying masters began as V-Disc-only Radio Broadcast, Radio Dress Rehearsal, or Special V-Disc Session recordings, while others were drawn from commercial Victor or Columbia recording sessions and repurposed for the program. For each track: the year, V-Disc catalog number (where assigned) and service branch (Army or Navy), master/matrix number, recording date, release date, recording source, and any notes on personnel, broadcast origin, parallel Army/Navy issues sharing a single master, or subsequent commercial release.
