I heard the story of Major B. F. Fisher on the Military Channel, and I
wish I could find a link that covers his Medal of Honor take off on a
short runway, under fire, with Major Meyers aboard. He tells his own
story, and it was a good one.

Yes, it must be quite an aircraft.

Anybody know what the max trap of a Spad was? Don't know much about this
bird but I walk past one every day. Seems like it would've been a good
airplane.

Here's a picture of Fisher's plane in Dayton, including a link to the Museum
page.

(The AF Museum just redid their site and things are hard to find on it.)
