RE: DC-3/C-47 question
I was thinking of some kind of chute. Once the paratrooper is disengaged, maybe it would slide down the chute and out. Havent really put too much thought in that part of it. Was thinking I might secure it with velcro on the cabin top so I could remove it to load the paratroopers. Another option (my 10watt light buld just turned on), A guide wire or tube could be used and have a plug on the spring to move the paratroopers down the guide wire. The guide wire could then be curved to go up to the door. Need to think on that one some more. Either way, thats the jist of it.
