Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot and pilot rated passenger reported that while landing the tail wheeled-equipped airplane, the airplane was low on the approach and a 3-point landing was not attained. The airplane touched down firmly, and then veered slightly back and forth from side to side. Subsequently, as the airplane veered significantly to the right, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control and attempted a go-around. However, shortly thereafter, the left wing dropped and struck the runway, and the go-around was aborted. The airplane then veered off the runway and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
