The ball turret was systematically stripped from RAF and SAAF Liberators. The thing weighed, quite literally, about a ton, and was not considered that useful for the sort of work most of them were doing. SAAF Liberators in Italy were often stripped of the front guns, and even of the entire front turret in an attempt to give the things a bit more go.
