There were, I think, 16,000 built, of which, if I recall correctly, about 300 are still flying. From what my other commentor says, most of them apparently in Alaska (the ones that aren't used for making WWII movies--even allowing for tricky camera and film manipulation, there must have been dozens of them in "A Bridge Too Far"--though that was made 30 years ago...)

Yeah, appalled is about how I feel. Just knowing that's what my dad's buddies flew says it all for me.
