Thanks for the run down on the book Dan, appreciate it.
Catch 22 is an iconic war novel, and anything that brings it back into the events of the 'real' war is not to be missed.
I wonder how it will stack up against Heller's own autobiography "Now and Then", which touches on his war time service.

And a much more recent book also on the Heller's Catch 22 340th Bomb Group, which is titled "The True Story of Catch 22: The Real Men and Missions of Joseph Heller's 340th Bomb Group in World War II" by Patricia Meder.
