WWII-type registry census
The WWII aircraft types still on the valid US register
A type-by-type working census of valid-status FAA registrations matched to a transparent curated list of major WWII military aircraft models.
Important: This is a registry type match, not proof of wartime service, originality, airworthiness or recent flight. Replicas and obvious scale aircraft are excluded by text rules, but every match needs manual verification.

Methodology
How the list was made
- Restricted to registrations carrying valid FAA status in the current source.
- Matched FAA model text against an explicit curated list of major WWII military types.
- Excluded obvious replica and scale wording, then deduplicated by N-number.

What still needs checking
Describe this as a working US registry census within the listed types—not a complete global count of surviving or airworthy warbirds.
