P-51 loss on 2 April 1945

Hello,

The link below describes a forced-landing of a P-51 pilot between Löhrbach and Ober-Abtsteinach, Hessen, Germany (ENE of Mannheim), on 2 April 1945. According to witnesses, the already wounded pilot died of his wounds on site shortly after the forced landing.

Neither this pilot or the unit is identified, and I have been unable to find a possible ID for him (I found two P-51 pilots killed this day but one in Austria and one in Denmark area).

Any idea ? 354th FG was involved in an air battle not far away, but AFAIK suffered no loss.
