The commercial certificated pilot reported that he was landing a tailwheel and tundra tire equipped airplane on a gravel airstrip in calm wind conditions. Shortly after touchdown, the airplane swerved to the right, and the pilot was unable to maintain directional control. The left main landing gear subsequently collapsed, and the left wing struck the ground, damaging the rear spar. The pilot said he was unaware of any preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in an inadvertent ground loop, and collapse of the main landing gear.
