Trivia
The voice on the radio identifies herself as "Seoul city Sue". There really was a Seoul city Sue who read out announcements for the North Korean Propaganda on radio during the Korean War. Sue (real name - Anna Wallis Suh) was an American who lived and worked in China and Korea, and married a Korean before the second world war.

Goofs
Margaret asks Trapper for help getting into the supply room because they desperately need supplies. After they are trapped in the supply room, no one tries to look for them (with Henry hurt, that leaves only Hawkeye and Burns to operate) or try to get the supplies they so desperately needed until the next morning.

Quotes
Klinger: [after Henry has been trapped in the latrine that's been shelled] Colonel... if you can hear me, knock three times! If you can't, knock twice!
[two slow knocks follow]
Klinger: Oh Lord, he's dead.
Radar: Colonel!

Bombs Away!

This takes us to the MASH unit under the worst of circumstances. Radar spends his time trying to convince HQ that the camp is being bombed. They insist that there are no bombs being dropped/then change their tunes and admit it is "friendly" fire. The plot then is directed toward Frank's jealousy when Margaret and Trapper get locked in the supply shed. The bombings are constant, blowing out windows, destroying much of the camp. It's not a remarkable episode, but one can only imagine the horrors of such a situation. There is a funny scene when Henry and Mulcahy are blown up in the latrine. Mulcahy's ramblings are quite hilarious.
