> [@](#): > > Sitcom: M_A_S\*H > Main Set: Camp > Direction: Down (via helicopter), or if you prefer Right (by jeep) The camp was not a set. There were several sets shown but most of them - the Swamp, Potter’s office, the OR, the mess hall - were entered from the right. The only two that were entered from the left were Margaret’s tent and the officer’s club. So mainly right. ---
