Flashbacks
Explanation and Analysis—Battle of Bologna:

Catch-22 as a whole has a nonlinear timeline, meaning its events happen out of chronological order. This means there are flashbacks and reminiscences of many kinds throughout the novel, as Yossarian discusses his and others' pasts at many different points. The most extended flashback, though, is the description of the Battle of Bologna, which begins in Chapter 12 and carries on through Chapter 20.
