Richard Hornberger was a gifted surgeon whose memoire of his experiences, "MASH: A Novel of Three Army Doctors", became the basis for the hit 1970 Robert Altman film; as well as the hit 1970s television series bearing the same name. Trapper John MD was one of the lead characters in the movie and TV show. We have since learned from numerous articles that have come out, and the 2010 documentary "The Real MASH"; that Trapper, Hawkeye, Margaret and others were based on real people. Trapper John McIntrye, Hawkeye's wingman, was based on another doctor that served in the 8055th with Hoernberger and befriended him. Dr. James Dickson was a young doctor from Ohio who was friends with Hoernberger and was the prototype for Trapper John MD.
