B-25 Mitchell crash into Empire State Building

On July 28, 1945, an Army Air Corps B-25 bomber crashed into the 79th floor of the EmpireState Building. Fourteen people died and $1 million damage was done to the building. I couldn't find the serial No. and the exact type (H,J) of the pane. Was this really a bomber or a transport version of the "Mitchell"?
