US 15th AAF bomber losses over Bulgaria/Eastern Yugoslavia on 17 April 1944?
I am looking for the US 15th AAF bomber losses over Bulgaria/Eastern Yugoslavia on 17 April 1944, if any.

That day, 250 B-24s of 47th and 304th Bomber Wings (I have no info on the actual Bomber Groups, or Squadrons) attacked the marshalling yard of Sofia. Bulgarian fighters claimed one confirmed and five heavily damaged 'Liberators'. However, I couldn't find any loss from the US side (perhaps there were several damaged bombers).

Does anyone have any information about such bomber loss(es)?

Thanks,
