According to Losses of the 8th and 9th Air Forces Vol 5, 40 Marauders were lost and eight more salvaged upon return.
I have not gone through each of these 48 losses to determine if they were caused by fighters/flak or if some were due to 'simple' technical reasons.
To me it suffice to say it must have been a horrible day. One of the worst in USAAF (USAF) history no doubt.
