That's actually quite a few, Greg -

Especially when you consider how old they are and their complexity and fragility compared to steam engines.
IIRC, there are also several still flying in England.

IIRC, there was a single engine one even bigger than the TBM toward the end of WWII that also fought in Korea.
I can picture it in my feeble mind, but can't remember its manufacturer, designation or nickname.
