Follies of the Living - Concerns of the Dead - S10-E10
Continuity mistake: In the Swamp, after another drink, Charles puts a clamp on BJ's hand. As he does, the points are facing Hawkeye. In the wide shot, they're pointing at BJ. Then after Charles passes out, they're pointed at Hawkeye again.
Follies of the Living - Concerns of the Dead - S10-E10
Continuity mistake: When BJ, Charles, and Hawkeye are in the Swamp getting drunk they toast to "war, the fountain of loveliness," and Charles attaches the surgical clamp to BJ's hand and it dangles with the end facing out in the closeup, but the clamp faces the opposite way in the wideshot, then it's changed again.
Answer: The C-42 was a military variant of the Douglas DC-2. Very few C-42's were built, so it's questionable that Potter would specifically have seen that particular model, but, given his military background, it's not entirely unreasonable that he might use the military designation even when the aircraft in question is actually a civilian DC-2.
