USAF Drum and Bugle Corps concert (Turkish poster distributed in Turkey)
A Turkish-language announcement of a free open-air display by the U.S. Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps in Ankara. A blue-toned photograph shows a uniformed drummer beside a bass drum painted with an eagle and the words 'The U.S.A.F. Drum & Bugle Corps', framed by red wedges. The tell is transfer: the headline pairs 'Turkish and American Air Forces' and attaches the band's reputation ('world famous') to the joint relationship.
