Mosquito Network

WVUS New Caledonia was one on the stations on the Mosquito Network, a loose organization from the AEF in the Pacific.  Hy Averback was a Hollywood announcer before the war. 
Hy was also in that first group of AFRS announcers to train at Fox studios.

In 1943 WVUS did this broadcast to support at USO show there.

Palmer Payne adds: "When Bob Hope brought his USO entourage to Seoul in 1951, Hy Averback was with them. I did not meet him but one of our Seoul AFRS guys was able to do some interviews. Averback told him it brought back memories of his AFRS assignment during WWII."

By the 1960s, Averback was acting and directing on all sorts of network television.

The voice on the loudspeakers during MASH?  Hy Averback.
