Frank and the Artillery

For some reason there is a huge ammunition dump adjacent to the camp. This brings a daily assault from a North Korean pilot in a small plane who drops a bomb each day at five o'clock (hence, Five O'Clock Charlie). The folks in camp bet on how far from the target the bomb will explode. Everyone is having fun but Frank, who considers himself a military man (sort of like Barney Fife and his bullet) decides the camp needs an anti-aircraft gun. When General Clayton's jeep is blown up he grants Frank's request. The doctors are outraged because a gun will draw fire from more serious North Koreans. The new dentist in camp tells Hawkeye and Trapper that what they need to do is get rid of the ammo dump and you get rid of the need for a gun. Despite the absurdity and cavalier attitude of everyone, it's a good episode.

Wissenswertes
The idea for this episode was probably based on the activity of a real Japanese pilot during World War II who would harass the U.S. Marines on Guadalcanal. This pilot would fly over Marine encampments at night in order to deprive them of much needed sleep. Sometime he would drop a bomb, other times he would just fly over them. The Marines nicknamed him Washing-machine Charlie, and like 5 O'Clock Charlie, his plane's engine was out of timing.

Frank mentions Billy Mitchell, saying he was played by Gary Cooper. Gary Cooper starred in "The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell" in 1955, two years after the Korean War ended.
