Herbert O. Fisher (March 6, 1909 – July 29, 1990) was an American test pilot and an aviation executive, overseeing aviation projects at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He worked for the Curtiss-Wright Corporation. Fisher flew as a pilot for over 50 years, racking up 19,351 accident and violation free hours. During World War II Fisher was sent to the China-Burma-India theater to train the Flying Tigers as a civilian. He flew many combat missions and 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 of his time. "Herbert O. Fisher is one of those people who generally went unnoticed. That is until he climbed into the cockpit of an airplane."〔 ==Early years== Fisher was born on March 6, 1909 at Tonawanda, New York, to Harold O. Fisher and Emma Rose Fisher (née Wortley).〔(United States Federal Census for Herbert O. Fisher". ) ''ancestry.ca.'' Retrieved: June 15, 2013.〕 At the age of 16, he had his first flying experience at the hands of a barnstormer, and was "hooked" on flying.〔 After completing two years at college, Fisher began to explore aviation as a career.〔
