Narrative:
Near midair collision on short final with airplane that turned base and approached from our left side while we were descending to land. Controller never called out any traffic or issued warnings to any aircraft on the frequency at this time. The other aircraft made a steep left turn to avoid hitting our left wing while we were descending to land after being cleared to do so by the tower. Controller had idented us incorrectly several times while we were in the pattern after making us and another aircraft make 360 degree turn while on downwind for no apparent reason at all. See attached letter that I have attached. This was sent to the local FSDO.
