The ball turret on the B17 Flying Fortress was a spherical gun turret that hung from the belly of the aircraft. It had two .50 caliber machine guns and could rotate 360 degrees to provide defensive fire against enemy aircraft. The gunner operated the turret while lying on his back inside, making it a cramped and exposed position.

Is work done on a ball when a pitcher throws it is the pitcher stil doing work on the ball?

Well, that's a tough question. I suppose it all depends on how you look at "work." Obviously when the pitcher releases the ball, his work is finished, but the effect that he places on the thrown ball is not finished until the ball stops. The pitcher has transferred his "work" energy to the ball. The ball then carries out the remainder of his work.
