He's Yossarian's tentmate, and he keeps crashing his planes, and at points, he even suggests Yossarian fly with him. He disappears halfway through the novel after his plane is lost over the Mediterranean.
I know I once chided a user here for assuming that Catch-22 would follow a sort of "triumph of the human spirit" mold, but George Clooney changing the ending so drastically and destroying any potential catharsis... I legitimately don't know if that works with the source material or not.
Did you ever readthe missing chapter? It was published in Playboy magazine in the 1980's. It' s about PT. ... It' s worth looking around for it.
Edit to add -Dec 1987 issue.
