Here is a page on the Sperry ball turret. And yes, not a fun place to be and note that if the turret could not be aligned properly prior to landing, it was NOT possible for the gunner to get out. Not good...
The graphics (which you can enlarge) say this turret was powered by hydraulics. Note too that the turrets were not fast enough to track -262s.
