Catch-22(v4)

There is a huge mission to the city of Bologna that is approaching. Colonel Cathcart who is the highest in command for the squadrons(next to the generals) volunteered the squadron to do the bombing mission. Bologna is rumoured to be the most deadly mission that can be done, with more flak cannons then anywhere and only a small amount of people are supposed to live. The bombing had been delayed several time because of the food poisoning(Yossarian did that) and inclement weather. When there was finally sun Yossarian and everyone else were very angry and scared. There was an operations tent with a map of the mission area, on the map was a pink ribbon marking where the ground troops were outside the city that hadn't moved in awhile. The night before the mission Yossarian snuck into the tent and moved the ribbon onto the city to make it look like it was captured, the mission was canceled. When the higher officers found out the city wasn't taken they were outraged and the mission took place anyway. After take off Yossarian was talking to the pilot when he ripped the inter comm system wiring from the wall. He then proceeded to the front of the plain and told them to turn back because of the problem. Every plane returned undamaged, there was no flak turrets but the target was missed. So the following day they set out again, Yossarian and all, When they got to Bologna they were bombarded with Flak and many people died but Yossarians evasive action got them out alive.
