Commissary congratulates Air Force's 60th
In this 1967 photo, parents pour a glass of fresh milk for their daughter inside the Ankara Air Base, Turkey, commissary. This was a publicity photo for a 90-day test program for daily deliveries of 407 quarts of fresh milk. The milk was obtained from a Turkish state farm meeting U.S. standards, and was processed by a contractor following American specifications. The poster on the cooler says the finished product was “Pasteurized, Homogenized [and] Vitamin D fortified.” The program exemplifies the special concerns and needs of families living overseas at the far end of a long supply pipeline.
