Not finding other corroboration for alleged incident.

Only June 1958 shootdown found in cursory search:

June 27, 1958: US Air Force Aircraft Lost Over Soviet Armenia

Date: 06/27/58

Aircraft: US Air Force C-118

Crew: 9 (all captured by Soviets and eventually returned to US custody; some injuries sustained in crash landing and parachute escape from aircraft)

Description:

This aircraft was shot down by Soviet fighters approximately 30 miles inside Soviet airspace near Yerevan, capital of Soviet Armenia. The US admitted intrusion, asserted it was due to navigational error, and expressed regret. Five of the crewmembers parachuted from the plane and 4 rode it down until it crashed. All 9 were released by the Soviets on July 7, 1958.
