Jack Whittingham (1910 - July 3, 1972) was a British playwright, film critic, and screenwriter. He is particularly famous for having collaborated with Ian Fleming and Kevin McClory on a James Bond screenplay for a film. When these plans were scrapped, Fleming novelised the work into his ninth official novel, "Thunderball"; however, the novel only credited Fleming. Wikipedia
