All of the characters, based on the characters from Richard Hooker's novel, are composites of people Hooker knew, met casually, worked with, or heard about. Richard Hooker was originally the joint pseudonym of actual combat surgeon H. Richard Hornberger, M.D. and American Korean War journalist and writer W.C. Heinz, who was later an expert commentator on numerous sports documentaries beginning in 1998. The Hooker pen name was later enhanced with a third author joining the team, WIlliam E. Butterworth, (a.k.a. W.E.B. Griffin), who was the co-author of the sequel series of books beginning with 'Mash Goes to New Orleans" in 1974.
