What article does he brandish to impress his superiors? an unfortunate lopsided looking human hair wig a pure silk green dress tie an ornate cigarette holder a pair of horn rimmed dark glasses

3. Who would eventually become one of the Colonel's biggest "Black Eyes"? Major Major (for his name) Milo (for smuggling) Yossarian (for several reasons) Doctor Stubbs (for grounding crews in neighboring squadron for flying only 50 missions)

4. Colonel Cathcart and Lt. Colonel Korn are partners in what enterprise? A farm in the hills above the squadron. Competing with Milo and M & M Enterprises. A black market operation. Influence peddling.

5. How did Colonel Cathcart celebrate the squadron's victory in destroying the bridge at Ferrara? By throwing a huge drunken debauch at his farm for all the officers and men in the squadron. By raising the number of missions required to be flown before a crew could be rotated back to the states from 55 to 60. By promoting Yossarian to Major from Captain. By kicking the Chaplain out of the Officers Club again.

6. Why did General Dreedle order Colonel Cathcart to order the Chaplain to return to the Officers' Club every time General Dreedle visited the base? Because the last time the Chaplain was in the Officers Club, the General's son-in-law Colonel Moodus got busted in the nose during a fight. Genral Dreedle can't stand his son-in-law. General Dreedle liked to torment the chaplain by telling dirty stories while he was around. The general felt that Chaplain Tappman was a good influence on the men. The general knew that few officers would attend the club when the chaplain was there and the general didn't like lower ranking officers around him.

8. How did the colonel handle Milo Minderbinder's request to fly more combat missions? He refused because Milo had no flight skills. He agreed enthusiastically as Milo's volunteering would influence the men into flying more missions. He helped Milo rationalize his way into withdrawing his request. He agreed because he hoped Milo would be killed. The colonel wanted revenge for the men in the squadron that were killed after Milo negotiated a contract with the Germans to bomb the squadron.
