An excellent article vienna. I think it's safe to say the story of "Tokyo Rose" was one that grew in the telling, even though neither Iva nor anyone else ever broadcast for the Japanese under that name. She had in fact never even sat in front of a radio microphone until the fall of 1943, years after the myth of a single "Tokyo Rose" arose from the imaginations of numerous Allied soldiers in the Pacific who tried to put a face on the many female voices coming from numerous Japanese controlled radio stations.

Of her own broadcasts, during which she actually used the name "Orphan Ann", all that remains are a smattering of scripts, and a precious few recordings that can barely be accounted for on two hands.
