Read the full NTSB narrative
The private certificated pilot was landing a tailwheel-equipped airplane on runway 13. He said that he bounced the landing, added a small amount of power, but bounced again. He then added full engine power to abort the landing. The airplane veered to the left, went off the side of the runway, and nosed over. The airplane received damage to the vertical stabilizer and the left wing.
