Probable cause

The pilot's inadequate bounced landing recovery, and his failure to correct for torque/P-factor during an aborted landing.

Quoted verbatim from the NTSB record. This site does not paraphrase or interpret it.

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.
