Great stuff. Viewed purely from the paratrooping perspective, the Commando would be superior to the 'Dak'/C-47 in this role, especially with a door on each side allowing simultaneous 'sticks', being capable of carrying, and dropping, a larger number of troops. And, of course, with a larger capacity and larger freight door(s), supply drops would be more effective.
Most accounts of the C-46 in WW2 state that they were not used in the para/supply drop role in the ETO, with US 9th AF and RAF C-47's being employed for this, but there is cine film evidence of one, at least, over a DZ which looks like Arnhem, trailing smoke as it departs.
Certainly a somewhat 'unsung hero', overshadowed by the 'Dak'.
