Captain John Yossarian is a 28 year old bombardier in the U.S.A Air Force with the 265th squad. Yossarian flies a B-25, he is given many nicknames like "yo-yo" "Assarian". Yossarian is a funny young man who's personality starts to show in the first chapter when he sends out letters and how he censors the words that he has used. Yossarian is very intelligent everyone always comes to him for advice in business or advice on what to do with their lives, such as in the case of Dobbs will not follow through to kill Colonel Cathcart unless he say's that he may execute the colonel. Yossarian thinks that he is not powerful but he is, he just doesn't know it yet
He flies all of these missions an when he start's to reject them the Colonel is forced to try and bribe him to go ful-fill the missions.
I think that Yossarian is a very good main character because he is looked up to by all of the soldiers in the 265th squad because he is a very intelligent man who knows a lot of literature.

Yossarian is a very powerful man because he is depended on by Colonel Cathcart to fly more and more missions.
