Learning exactly how many are still left is also an exercise in futility. There are cars in garages, barns, storage units, behind houses, in salvage yards that will never be identified for a list like this.

Basically does little and gives out info that some do not want to give out. I remember when Jim m was going through all of the PHS documents looking for RA-II birds to buy.
