hharney is on a distinguished road
There are many mistakes in the NTSB reports. No Skymaster had a door on the left side. All the fuel lines are on that side also besides the CB panel. The storm window can be opened at any speed on the normal early models. Works well when low and slow. The left hand scoop is very effective. The passenger / co-pilot window hinges out about 6 inches although I don't open this in flight. The O2 door on the military version had a crank out window on the right side and could open up 90 degrees of the door at any speed. That would be cool, no pun intended.

And there is a spoiler attached to the cabin door on the O-2A to keep the slipstream from dumping in the cabin with the window full open. This allows a photographer to use a camera without the lens getting too much load on it.
