16 Aug 1944 - 353rd FS

Am trying to identify the pilot who shot down an FW 190 which landed on a house near La Celle-les-Bordes, France (near Rambouillet) the afternoon of 16 August, 1944.  It appears the 353rd FS was engaged in a dogfight in the area and by rough count claimed 14 German aircraft shot down that day.  2 also shot down by 356th FS.  The FW pilot safely parachuted, and the crash occurred at around 4 pm, or 3pm GMT with no one in the house.  The family has some photos and memories of this unexpected guest but would like to know how it got there.  Possible ID?
Cheers, PJ
