P-47 crash-landing 03-16-45 in Remagen-bridgehead

I am looking for the Pilot, who made a successful belly-landing in the vincinity of Oetzingen / Helferskirchen - appr. 5 miles north of Montabaur/Germany.
The pilot fled from the plane, however he was captured nearby (in Quirnbach) shortly after. The plane was most probably a Thunderbolt, since it dropped its bombs in an open field before the crash-landing.

Here is a list of P-47 losses of March 16th 1945.
(note: It is not Beeson, his abondened P-47 crashed in a house at Niederelbert, killing 4 people; the others won' t fit neither)
