Oral History Interview with Roland Fisher, February 16, 2011
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Roland Fisher. Fisher was born in Ainsworth, Nebraska 19 January 1921. He reflects on the depression’s effects in his formative years. After graduating from high school in 1939 he applied for the aviation cadet training program but was rejected for colorblindness. Undaunted, he took private flying lessons, becoming certified in 1940. Upon applying, he was accepted into the Royal Air Force in May 1941 and was sent to Tulsa for four months of training. Upon completion of flight training he went to England where, in January 1942, he was commissioned as a flight officer and began flying AS-10 Oxfords. In the summer of 1942 he went to RAF Instructor School in Scotland and spent several months giving instruction in night flying. He was then transferred into the 8th Air Force. After flying B-17s for a time, he was selected to set up a night fighter training school in Orlando, Florida. During September 1943, the 418th Night Fighter Squadron was formed with Fisher designated as the operations officer. He was sent to New Guinea to assist in setting up a 5th Air Force night fighter squadron. The squadron suffered heavy casualties. During January 1944 he was assigned to the 63rd Bomb Squadron, flying anti-shipping missions. He recalls a night mission in which a Japanese night fighter damaged Fisher’s B-24 and wounded many of his crew. The Japanese pilot rammed Fisher. Following the war Fisher made contact with Yoshimasa Nakagawa, the Japanese pilot, thus beginning a lifelong friendship

John Fisher ledger excerpt
No full textExcerpt from a ledger kept by John Fisher during his service in the War of 1812. Entries include written regimental and general orders issued by Brigadier General William Hull, Colonel McArthur and Major James Denny during the march of the United States Northwest Army under Hull from Dayton to the Detroit area in the summer of 1812 and during the subsequent campaign which ended with the surrender of the American army on August 16th, 1812. The orders mostly address standard military issues such as conduct and drunkenness and gambling, but there are two that stand out: Hull’s order of July 30th, following a court of inquiry, clearing Major Denny of charges of misconduct during a skirmish at the Canard River on July 25th; and Major Denny’s orders for the garrison at “Fort Hope” (Sandwich, Canada), dated August 10th, just days before the surrender.
Fisher was born in Pennsylvania on April 9th, 1787, the son of James and Jane Fisher. During the War of 1812, Fisher served in the Ohio Militia as a sergeant in Captain John Jones' company of Highland County. When the company joined General Hull's army forming up at Dayton in May 1812, Fisher was made Quartermaster Sergeant (also known as "Orderly Sergeant") of the 1st Regiment of the Ohio Militia under Col. Duncan McArthur. Fisher served in this capacity during the march to Detroit, the occupation of village of Sandwich on the Canadian side and the subsequent surrender of the American army by Hull at Detroit on August 16th, 1812. Following the war, Fisher stayed in the Southwestern region of Ohio, living near Manchester in Adams County and later in Clinton County, where he died of old age on April 24th, 1872
