Capt. John Yossarian is a fictional character and protagonist in Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 and its sequel Closing Time. In Catch-22, Yossarian is a 28-year-old captain in the 256th squadron of the Army Air Forces where he serves as a B-25bombardier stationed on the small island of Pianosa off the Italian mainland during World War II. Yossarian's exploits are based on the experiences of the author: Heller was also a bombardier in the Army Air Corps, stationed on an island off the coast of Italy during World War II.
Name
In Catch-22 the author introduces Yossarian as a soldier in World War II with an Assyrian heritage, even though his name indicates an Armenian background because of the "ian" suffix. Yossarian is an Armenian last name, however. One suggestion is that Yossarian's first name is given as John late in the novel, with a throwaway remark by Colonel Korn: "Call me Blackie, John. We're pals now." The line is ambiguous at best, and may serve only to make Yossarian a more enigmatic character.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Mike Nichols and writer-actor Buck Henry followed their enormous hit The Graduate (1967) with this timely adaptation of Joseph Heller's satiric antiwar novel.
