Im interested in where you found that info.
I recall seeing a study of about 3 months of missions during 1944 and the ball turret position was one of the safest.
Pilot, navigator, bombardier all had higher rate of being killed or wounded.
Going off memory , so I ask.
Side note, my dad this year after his 100th birthday told me about a mission when a piece of flak went through the dash and he looked through it to the navigator and wondered how it missed them both.
