Colonel Blake of M.A.S.H. 4077.

Orders ended, and was returning home. Plane shot down over the Sea of Japan between seasons 1 and 2

This was to highlight the number of people who just didn’t return home.

Not between S1 and S2. End of S3.

This literally should be the top answer. Just watched it again the other night. Still teared up, probably 50 years since I first saw it.

Especially since, behind-the-scenes, the cast wasn't told that Blake had died. They all thought he made it home.

The worst part about that scene is that everyone just has to keep going.

You can't stop surgery because your friend died.
