Doug Fisher

Doug Fisher was born in Weston, Ontario, Canada in 1965 and has lived most of his life in the Toronto area, currently residing just outside Toronto in Georgetown, Ontario with his wife Sylvie and daughter Jessica.

Doug's father and uncle were both pilots and avid photographers. His father, Don, who flew the CWHM Lancaster for over 20 years, owned numerous aircraft and he and Doug and Doug's brother Dave would attend numerous airshows in their Cessna 195A. This led to Doug's lifelong passion for aviation, especially WWII aircraft. He started photographing warbirds and vintage aircraft in the early 70's and has amassed a large collection of vintage 35mm slides along with his own photos totaling over 500,000.

Doug got his pilots license at the age of 17 and went on to attend the Confederation College Aviation Flight Management program, graduating with the Presidents medal for highest marks in his class. Since then he has been flying commercially, first in the Canadian North on floats and skis, then for several small Connector airlines. He has also flown Corporate aircraft and for the last 20 years has flown for Air Canada where he is currently a Captain on the A320 series of aircraft.

Doug attends airshows around the world and has had his photos and articles featured in both English and French magazines and numerous books. Some of these include: Classic Wings, Warbird Digest, Air Classics, Warbirds International, Air and Space Magazine, Today's Pilot, Flypast, Canadian Aviator, Aeroplane, Airliner World, Air International, Le Fana de l'Aviation as well as programs for the Reno Air Races and the 2007 Gathering of Mustangs and Legends. He is also currently a member of The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, Warbirds of America, EAA and Planes of Fame and a founder of the Warbird Depot website along with Mark Watt and Jim Buckel.
