Trường Huấn-Luyện Không Quân Việt-Nam (Vietnamese-language poster distributed in Vietnam)
A Vietnamese-language recruitment-style poster. Five dark aircraft in formation fly across a blue sky around a large red-and-yellow roundel, above the title 'Trường Huấn-Luyện Không Quân Việt-Nam' and a hand-drawn star. The artist signature reads 'Trần-Thôi 8/51'. The tell is transfer: the national air-force roundel and the sweep of aircraft stand in for the prestige of the service being promoted.
