It is not clear the exact number. 3,970 were built through May 1946. I estimate that at least 3,400 were completed before the war in the Pacific ended in August 1945. Of that number probably about 3,000 made it to combat units in India, China & Marianas Islands before the end of the Pacific war. The rest would have been in stateside modification work centers, in transit or assigned to training units stateside. Bottom line educated guess is that about 2,900 would have flown at least one mission during the war. I believe that a search of wartime records (by aircraft ID) could possibly reveal the actual number.
