When Hooterville farms are infested with a crop destroying Bing bug (when it rubs its antennas together it makes a "bing" sound) the local farmers are desperate. When they discover Oliver was a world war two pilot, they beg him to crop dust the fields before all is lost. Before he does we get treated to a story of how Lisa and Oliver first met--when he was an air force pilot (actually army air corp at the time) and had to bail out over occupied Hungary ("If you do get captured, try and get assigned to Stalag 13" the radio dispatcher tells him when he calls in his mayday, "Ask for Hogan") where he is rescued by the Hungarian resistance, led by Sgt. Lisa.
There's some great footage in this episode of a P-51 Mustang in flight and of a pilot bailing out of it. But that's where they must have spent all their money because a later shot of a German tank in the Hungarian woods is a very bad miniature.
The Douglas' scarecrow is named Carl in this episode. Later in the flying saucer episode in this season he'd be renamed "Stuffy". The shot of the old Jenny aircraft Oliver is forced to fly to crop dust looks like it was reused for the "Exodus to Bleedswell" episode.
