Heller later documented in his autobiography "Now & Then" the elements of Yossarian which came from his experiences (specifically the episodes where Yossarian attends to Snowden during the Avignon mission). Heller noted that he derived the name Yossarian from a wartime friend and fellow bombardier, Francis Yohannan. Yohannan made the military his career, continuing to serve through the Vietnam War, placing him at odds with Yossarian's feelings towards the military and as noted in his obituary "(Yohannan) turned aside calls from reporters who asked if he was the real-life Yossarian." A possible source for Yossarian's narrative adventure and efforts to be relieved of his combat duties is Lt. Julius Fish, another bombardier and wartime friend to both Francis Yohannan and Joseph Heller. (en) John Yossarian è il protagonista del romanzo di Joseph Heller Comma 22 (1961). È un antieroico capitano ventottenne dell'aeronautica militare statunitense durante la seconda guerra mondiale, ossessionato dall'idea che migliaia di persone sconosciute, a cui lui personalmente non ha fatto nulla, tentino continuamente di ucciderlo, sia direttamente (attaccando il suo aeroplano) che indirettamente (obbligandolo a eseguire missioni). A causa del suo rifiuto del militarismo e della sua assurda logica (esemplificata nel libro dal paradosso del Comma 22), Yossarian divenne un'icona del movimento pacifista americano degli anni sessanta, il quale, manifestando contro la Guerra del Vietnam, fece spesso uso dello slogan Yossarian lives (Yossarian vive). Nel 1994 Heller lo riprende, assieme ad altri personaggi di Comma 22, nel romanzo . (it) Yossarian (kapitan John Yossarian) – główny bohater powieści Paragraf 22 autorstwa Josepha Hellera, a także jej kontynuacji pt. Ostatni rozdział, czyli Paragraf 22 bis, pojawia się też w wyborze opowiadań pt. Paragraf 23. Bombardier 256. eskadry Korpusu Powietrznego Armii Stanów Zjednoczonych. Głównym problemem Yossariana, przewijającym się przez cała powieść, był fakt, że, jak sam twierdził, wszyscy próbowali go zabić: albo bezpośrednio, atakując jego samolot, albo pośrednio, zmuszając go do latania.Życiowym mottem Yossariana było "żyć wiecznie albo umrzeć, próbując tego dokonać".Yossarian w trosce o ocalenie życia ubiegał się o zwolnienie z udziału w lotach bojowych. Zgodnie z tytułowym Paragrafem 22, zwolnienie takie było możliwe tylko w przypadku uznania lotnika przez lekarza wojskowego za chorego psychicznie. Chorym psychicznie był każdy lotnik, który wykonywał tak śmiertelnie niebezpieczne zadania, że tylko szaleniec mógłby się na to zdecydować. Niestety, by zostać zbadanym na okoliczność bycia aż tak "chorym", zainteresowany musiał osobiście wystąpić o przebadanie. Jednak taka prośba była uważana za przejaw zdrowia psychicznego, a zatem wykluczała uznanie lotnika za psychicznie chorego. Tworząc postać Yossariana, Heller bazował na własnych doświadczeniach – w okresie II wojny światowej służył jako bombardier na wyspie u wybrzeży Włoch i, tak jak Yossarian, stracił członków załogi, gdy jego samolot został zaatakowany w drodze do Awinionu.
