History
I'm going out on a limb here, but Catch-22 is a screwball comedy about an aircraft squadron during WWII. There are many colorful characters and you can clearly see that several characters from M*A*S*H are based upon some of the characters here (Klinger is a wringer for Yossarian). It has been hailed as one of the most significant novels of the 20th century. Additionally, the phrase Catch-22 has caught on in language to reflect any no-win situation.
