They're mounted in turrets along the underside of heavy bombers. All World War II bombers had them; they were used to defend the plane against enemy fighters and they were operated by the bombardier when he wasn't bombing.

Which is correct machine gun or automatic machine gun?

Machine gun or machinegun. All of them are automatic, so it is redundant to say that. There is no such thing as a semi automatic machine gun, or a single shot machine gun. That answer is correct, but many people use the term fully automatic machine gun or full auto machine gun to specify they are not talking about a semi-auto pistol or rifle, which are commonly referred to as autos, and sometimes that term confuses people.
