USAF "Zero Defects" 1967 Day Program with "Miss Zero Defects" Beauty Contest

Bitburg Air Base, Germany, 1967. Very good. Letter folds.. Two (2) printed programs for the 1967 "Zero Defects" day program held on 31 May 1967 by the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing at Bitburg Air Base in Germany. "Zero Defects" was a quality assurance program set in motion by the U.S. Department of Defense that encouraged "Prevention rather than detection of errors"; "Quality workmanship"; "Error-free performance"; and doing the job "right the first time". The first printed program includes these values as well as a listing of events including a skydiving demonstration, carnival games, and a dance in the evening. The second is a program for what was surely the highlight of the day, the beauty contest with thirteen women vying for the role of "Miss Zero Defects". Includes the order of events and the name and role of each woman in the USAF. Notice the hand-drawn image on the front of each. Printed bifoliums measuring 8" by 5.25" and 8" by 6.5
