Canteen Kate - No-Fly Girl

Yesterday we were looking at Sky Girl, the latest in our parade of Fly Girls. Today, let's visit with a "cousin" of hers - Canteen Kate. Kate and Ginger are both redheads who cope with the kitchen at an airfield, and both are drawn by Matt Baker. (Yeah, i know her hair is brown on the first two covers, but she's a redhead inside)

Kate came 8 years after Sky Girl, in 1952, running for 3 issues in her own title. -

Like Ginger Maguire, Kate was set in a comedy series, and both shared similarities. But Kate wasn't a Fly Girl, as we can see in her first story...

Here's a couple more of Kate's adventures to give you a feel for the series -
