Visible crew/equipment: After Margaret tells Hawkeye that he ran the siege pretty well then salutes him, when it cuts to BJ returning to camp with the wounded GI, the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen.
Peace on Us - S7-E2
Revealing mistake: Klinger says "The sun is going to ruin my comb-out", fingering his hair net. He has curlers under his hair net, but his hair is not around the curlers, they're just stuffed into his hair net. (00:01:10)
Peace on Us - S7-E2
Visible crew/equipment: When Radar gets off the phone with the guard at Panmunjom and tells Colonel Potter and BJ that Hawkeye's gone on ahead, at the start of the next shot we can see the back of the soundstage set at the top, right side of the screen. And notice that Hawkeye's and the guards' voices are echoey on the soundstage in this shot.
Peace on Us - S7-E2
Revealing mistake: When Colonel Potter's in the Swamp telling Hawkeye, BJ, and Charles that surgeons' rotation points have increased from 36 to 45 Hawkeye becomes incensed, and in these two shots from this angle we can see the edge of the Swamp set at the top, left corner of the screen.
Peace on Us - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: When Hawkeye, Charles, and BJ are in the Swamp, Hawkeye starts his roll about being sick of green, and by the time he heads outside and talks to Margaret the blood splatter on his surgical gown changes.
Peace on Us - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: As Hawkeye storms out of the Swamp, he leaves Charles, Potter, and BJ behind. After the angle changes, you can see there is nobody in the tent, and the still is missing.
Continuity mistake: As Klinger and Margaret are talking about the date, he takes a sip of his drink and goes to put his hand down. After the angle changes and he goes to say his line, he repeats putting the glass down.
Continuity mistake: Margaret comes in to the Officer's Club, and tells Klinger that the drinks are on her. He puts down two glasses, and starts to pour. When the camera cuts to a close up, he's just starting to pour into the same glass again.
Revealing mistake: When Hawkeye exits the tub, you can see his shorts as he wraps the towel around himself.
Visible crew/equipment: When Klinger's in Colonel Potter's office wearing the fur coat and rubber reducing suit, just as Potter says, "This one is definitely in the running," we can see the shadow of the boom mic shaking up and down on the wall, at the left side of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: As Klinger sits in the chair dressed in a winter coat, you can see the boom mike and light panel reflected in his shades.
Audio problem: As the Scrounger comes up to Hawkeye and BJ as they walk out after visiting Radar, you hear the horn honk, but the horn button never gets hit.
They Call the Wind Korea - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: When Klinger is coming over the hill at the end of the episode, the camera shows him in the outdoor setting, and the spot he's on has sparse vegetation. When the camera goes to a close up of him, the trees and shrubs are thicker and closer to him. This alternates a couple of times.
Baby, It's Cold Outside - S7-E9
Factual error: While watching the Sonja Henie movie "Sun Valley Serenade" Colonel Potter says at one point of the movie "This is supposed to be where she does a triple axel and ends up in a split." Then he has to leave and says "Now I'll never get to see it." He wouldn't be able to see it until 1989 when Midori Ito from Japan was the first woman to complete a triple axel in competition, Tonya Harding was the 2nd woman to complete one and the only American woman. And I doubt Sonja Henie ever did anything as complicated as a triple axel even with her 3 Olympic Gold Medals.
Baby, It's Cold Outside - S7-E9
Factual error: As Hawkeye performs CPR on the hypothermic soldier, he pumps his arms from his ellbows. CPR is done by keeping the arms stiff and pumping with the whole upper body. Hawkeye as a surgeon would know that. Fun Fact: You can perform CPR one-handed in a pinch, but only as long as you keep your arms stiff.
Continuity mistake: Private Rich's left boot is totally black when he's put on the chopper. When it goes up, it's worn to the bare leather, and back to new looking during the landing.
Revealing mistake: In the first scene, when the camera pans back, in the upper left corner of the screen you can see that a part of the tent has been removed to make room for the camera. (00:02:15)
Continuity mistake: When Potter is on the phone, he turns to hush Hawkeye and BJ. As he does so, he's holding the receiver with his left hand, and covering the mouthpiece with his right. He then puts his left hand down on the arm of the chair. When the camera cuts in for a close up, his left hand is on the phone again.
Revealing mistake: When Hawkeye and BJ are in the showers and Margaret steals their towels and clothes, the duo head back to the Swamp naked, but we can see the top of whatever Hawkeye's wearing.
Suggested correction: True, but doing CPR the real way is going to likely seriously injure the actor it is being performed upon.

Chest compressions can definitely be performed by pumping from the elbow, one or two handed. The first documented use was in 1891, so Hawkeye would be aware of it. However, modern CPR standards, including straight arm procedures, were not developed until at least 1960 by the American Heart Association. Using straight arms and bending at the hips uses the larger muscle groups of the core and legs, which provides more control, as well as stamina. This is not an error for the Korean War era.
Additionally, what Lorg said - you don't want to hurt the actor, you can see his shoulders rise as his arms straighten, giving the illusion of compressions. There is another episode where Hawkeye is performing chest compressions similarly, and yells at the unconscious patient that his arms are getting tired, which is what would happen with bent elbow compressions, and one of the reasons modern technique uses straight arms.
I didn't know that, but it makes sense that CPR procedures would evolve. You should submit that as a direct correction to my mistake.
