Were the producers playing with the viewers of the TV series MASH by having a Huey helicopter which was not developed until the early 1960s hanging in Colonel Potter's office?

Answer 1

The series was set in the sixties so its not that unusual. WRONG! MASH was set in the Korean War, which was 1950-1953. The helicopters used in the tv show were Bell 47s. The UH-1A "Huey" was developed by Bell Aircraft in the late 1950s and pressed into service in Vietnam about 1963-64, but it did not exist during the Korean War. I watched MASH all the time but don't recall a Huey picture in Potters office. It may have been a picture of the Sikorsjy S3 which did see extensive service in Korea and the early years in Vietnam.
