Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: No

Indeed not. Edward Winter showed up first in the 'M*A*S*H' episode 'Deal Me Out', where he played a certain Captain Halloran, also part of military intelligence. It could very well be that this Captain Halloran was just another of Colonel Flagg's aliases.

2. Colonel Flagg has broken his arm, ostensibly why he has arrived at the 4077th. How did this painful mishap take place?

Answer: Helicopter crash

Specifically, Colonel Flagg fractured his radius in the crash, while the chopper pilot miraculously walked away unscathed. Later, it is suggested that Flagg may have fractured the arm himself, something an incredulous Hawkeye has a hard time believing, that is, until Flagg re-injures his own arm using the x-ray machine.

Answer: Louise Klein

Among his other aliases are: Major Brooks, Lieutenant Carter and Ensign Troy. When Henry inquires about 'Colonel Flagg', Flagg responds, 'Colonel Flagg was never here, you can tell your people.'

4. In the Swamp, Trapper is pleased to introduce Hawkeye to an old friend who has just walked in. What name does Trapper use for this friend, who seems to have as many aliases as Flagg?

Answer: Vinny Pratt

Trapper claims to have introduced Vinny Pratt to his wife, and Vinny calls Trapper 'The Old Dirty Doctor'. Vinny, it seems, has taken a position in army intelligence.

Answer: Engineer

At first, Pratt wants to be known as Captain Perkins, a priest. When Trapper suggests that they already have a camp priest, he suddenly switches gears and becomes Captain Stone, engineer. Later, He is also called Major Strauss and Martinez. How confusing!

Answer: He threatens to reveal some illicit meetings Henry has had with other women

It seems that Henry has engaged in some dalliances at home. In one case, he signed up at a certain Happy Hour Motel in Elkhart, Indiana as 'Mr. Carl Williams and daughter'. Another time, he met a certain Linda Collins, a 'rent-a-car girl' in Houston during an AMA convention. 'You can count on my full and fearful cooperation,' Henry suggests.

7. In Radar's office, Colonel Flagg sends an insane-sounding message to his headquarters. How does he finally sign this note full of gibberish?

Answer: Queen Victoria

His telegram is addressed to the 'Far East Export-Import Company' at 27 Zapata Circle, Tijuana, Mexico. It begins, 'Mary had a little lamb', and gets even more ridiculous from there.

Answer: Frank

Naturally, they pick on Frank. Hawkeye hatches the brilliant plan after Captain Stone witnesses Frank's self-righteous and overzealously patriotic behavior. That evening, both Stone and Flagg are to go to the office to search Frank's file.

Answer: Smoking at the door like Marlene Dietrich

Amusingly, when Colonel Flagg leaves Henry's office, he takes a look at the sleeping Radar, who had just been peeking through the door. Radar's glasses are still on. Quickly, Radar takes his glasses off when Flagg's flashlight leaves his face. Suddenly, Flagg takes another look and sees Radar's face, sans glasses. He doesn't notice. Some intelligence officer!

Answer: Sam

This is the only time that Colonel Flagg's first name is mentioned, and there is no way to be certain if this is his 'real' given name, so we'll just have to assume it. Happily, he would show up in five more future 'M*A*S*H' episodes!

Thank you for playing this quiz, I hope you enjoyed it.
