How did they keep their legs from falling asleep? Or did they and they had to drag them out after landing back at base?




They could crank the ball turret back up into the fuselage so the turret gunner didn't have to spend the whole mission in the turret. The turret was always cranked back up into the fuselage for takeoffs and landings. I'd guess that, yes, the legs did fall asleep now and then, and the other gunners could drag the ball turret gunner out if need be.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
