He worked for the Curtiss-WrightCorporation. Fisher flew as a pilot for over 50 years, racking up 19,351accident and violation free hours.
During World War II Fisher was sent to the China-Burma-Indiatheater to train the Flying Tigers as a civilian. He flew many combat missionsand was awarded the Air Medal by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Disproving the public perception of the heroic test pilot,among his peers, the portly Fisher was considered one of the premiere pilots ofhis time. "Herbert O. Fisher is one of those people who generally wentunnoticed. That is until he climbed into the cockpit of an airplane."
