It's almost like there is no record at all.

Will keep looking

Flight simulators date back to the {pre-?} WWII Link trainer
we've all seen and admired in old WWII movies/documentaries. If
*anyone* has assembled either a history of all of the simulators
developed since the Link (or any possible predecessor now
categorized as a simulator), or an enumeration of all of the
simulators ever fielded, much less an enumeration of the number
of each of all of the simulators ever fielded, I suspect you
won't find it on the web, but in some long forgotten tome.

Have you though of trying a) an old-fashioned library, preferably
a university library if not the Library of Congress, or b)
abebooks, et al?
