Chaps...
Not wanting to blow any trumpets here but there was a survivors overview in Classic Wings (V.9. No.5) 12 months ago addressing this specific subject. The answer of course....five in the USA, one in Chile, one in Cuba and one in Australia, (sans stbd mainplane) PLUS the substantial remains on Chuginadak Is., (Aleutians) and a yet to be confirmed subterranean example in Australia (parts have been sighted). The article included photos of most of the survivors including Australian (Whaleworld) and the Yanks example awaiting restoration (not pretty, but worth doing).
Cheers guys,
