Dimensions of cargo door on C-47

[YGBSM]

I think the confusion is over the double arrows. B + C is 35 inches, even though B has its own arrow. B is somewhere between 29-1/2 and 30 inches with C of course making up the difference.

Yes. Therefore I posted the edited pic to make sure.

Correct. A=4.25; B= 29.75 (35-2.5); C= 5.25
Therefore A+B+C= 4.25+29.75+5.25= 39.25 (plus or minus)

THX for your answer. That all should be clear now.

As a somewhat related bit of info, the Squadron pub, GMC CCKW 2 1/2 ton truck, explains how it could fit into a C-47 thru the cargo door on pages 48-55.
