Re: Medivac C-47 shoot down

The Internet suggests it was a C-47 of the 11th CCS, 41-18554, Capt Nicholas J. Mandoukos (of NY) PiC, 4 March 1945.

I'd always heard it was a C-46.

Is anyone aware aware of any published sources on this accident? A C-46 full of nurses is tragically close to being the Titanic with radial engines.
