The most dangerous position is a tie between the ball turret and the tail gunner. It is very hard to get out of the turret in certain positions, and the tail end of the aircraft is usually the first place hit during an attack.

American stats, from Gunner says the waist gunner position suffered the most casualties.

early war as the tail attacks were standard from summer of 45 till war's end. the waist position was also hit once the tail gunner was eliminated so maybe overall the stats are higher on the casualty rate
