Diorama by Norman Bel Geddes, depicting the attack by USS Yorktown (CV-5) and USS Enterprise (CV-6) dive bombers on the Japanese aircraft carriers Soryu, Akagi and Kaga in the morning of 4 June 1942. The diorama was created during World War II on the basis of information then available. It is therefore somewhat inaccurate in scope and detail. This angle of view is essentially the reciprocal of that shown in Photo # 80-G-701869. It depicts Soryu (attacked by Yorktown aircraft) in the center foreground, with Kaga and Akagi (both attacked by Enterprise aircraft) as the two most distant burning ships. The burning ship at far right is a light cruiser, which had been erroneously reported to have been hit..Credit: NAVY.

Political Economy

AUSTRIA

The budget consolidation process is hard, however, as the federal deficit had to come down from 2.5 percent of GDP in 1999. Strong economic growth and swift implementation of tax increases and pension reform helped the new government to limit the federal deficit to 1.4 percent of GDP in 2000 and the consolidated public sector deficit to 1.1 percent of GDP. The government intends to further reduce the federal deficit to 1.1 percent in 2001 and to 0.7 percent by 2002, and to balance the consolidated public sector budget by 2002. Reduced economic growth prospects, increased spending on family allowances and halting public service reform, however, make the target more difficult to hit. (references)
