In 2016, the Presidio Trust celebrated the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act alongside the nation’s preservation community with a sense of reflection, gratitude and forward-looking purpose. We were also pleased to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the National Park Service, and thank our partners for their trailblazing role in preserving American cultural heritage here in California and beyond. Our principal activity for recognizing these milestones was to host the 41st annual California Preservation Foundation conference at the Presidio in April. At the conference we were enormously proud to be recognized by CPF president Kelly Sutherlin McLeod as “perhaps the biggest preservation success story of the 20th century”, praise that would not be possible without the contributions of our partner agencies, tenants and park users.

She previously worked at the Fort Fisher Museum and the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, and we feel that she is proving to be a great asset in her work at the North Carolina Battleship Memorial.

Prof. Dr. Bestami Sadi Bilgiç April 2014, 141 pages Immigrants question has been on the agenda since the ancient times. Immigrants had to abandon their homelands because of social, economic and political factors. However; they faced internment and repatriation policies in the newly arrived countries due to nativism, discrimination, wartime hysteria and xenophobia. These policies mostly associated with the third world countries were also adopted by the Great Powers such as the United States and Britain in the modern times. This study will analyze and compare internment and repatriation policies implemented by the United States and Britain in the first half of the twentieth century. Internment and repatriation of Germans, Irish, Italians, Jews, Japanese, Boers and Philippines during the Anglo-Irish War, the First and Second World War, the Second Boer iv War and the Philippine-American War will be examined. Additionally, segregation and repatriation that Blacks and Mexicans were subjected in Britain and the US will be discussed. Internment and repatriation policies implemented by both countries and civilian experiences will be compared and contrasted.

    Magazine’s Guide toAces and Heroes ■ 2005 USAF Almanac By tradition, anyone with five official aerial victory credits is an ace. In com- piling this list of aces who flew with the US Air Force and predecessor organi- zations (the Air Service, Air Corps, and Army Air Forces), Air Force Maga- zine relies on USAF’s official account- ing of aerial victory credits, which is the responsibility of the Air Force His- torical Research Agency, Maxwell AFB, Ala. Air Force historians have kept the official records of aerial victories by USAF pilots and crew members since 1957. The Office of the Air Force His- torian initially published four separate listings—for World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The four volumes were corrected, up- dated, and combined into one compre- hensive volume. AFHRA continues to correct records and updates its online Capt. James Jabara, the first USAF ace of the Korean War, is shown here in listing (www.maxwell.af.mil/au/afhra). the cockpit of his F-86 Sabre after returning from a mission over Korea.

The Air Service awarded one whole credit to each avia- tor who contributed to the victory.
