HORWITZ--Charles, 71, indefatigable fighter for civil rights in the U.S. and Haiti, died November 13, 2006 of cancer.
An early and indefatigable fighter for social justice, he was passionate about every aspect of life, and believed in individual responsibility and the power of collective activism.
In addition, 1770 and 1840 Naval Air Squadrons operated 12 Fairey Fireflies and 12 Hellcat fighters respectively from Indefatigable.
Upon her return, Indefatigable embarked the Supermarine Seafire fighters of 887 Squadron and the Barracudas of 820 Squadron, completing No. 9 Naval Torpedo-Bomber Reconnaissance Wing, over the next week.
Some he did not meet, such as the Japanese kamikaze pilot who crashed his Zero fighter into the carrier Indefatigable in the Pacific in 1945, seconds after Lygo had taken off, leaving a stench of steam, blood and oil on the burned ship that Lygo, who returned from patrol two hours later, never forgot.
Goodwood IV followed on the 29th, with 34 bombers and 25 fighters from Formidable and Indefatigable.
Goodwood III followed two days later, with 48 bombers and 29 fighters from, Furious, and Indefatigable.
Thirty-four bombers and 25 fighters, launched from Formidable and Indefatigable, attacked the ship, though fog prevented them from scoring any hits.
Operations Goodwood I and II were launched on 22 August; a carrier force consisting of the fleet carriers Furious, Indefatigable and and the escort carriers and launched a total of 38 bombers and 43 escort fighters between the two raids.
Indefatigable and several escort carriers attacked targets in Norway on 10 August, destroying 6 Messerschmitt Me 110 fighters and sinking a minesweeper.
He watched nerd shows like "Doctor Who" and "Blake's 7," could tell you the difference between a Veritech fighter and a Zentraedi battle pod, and he used a lot of huge-sounding nerd words like "indefatigable" and "ubiquitous" when talking to niggers who would barely graduate from high school.
