“Army Girl,” by Whit Harrison

Army Girl, by “Whit Harrison,” aka Harry Whittington (Paperback Library, 1962). The Florida-born Whittington (1915-1989) was a prolific author of both crime fiction and western fiction, who wrote under a variety of pseudonyms. A few of his books have been brought back into print by Stark House Press, but not yet Army Girl.
