Narrative:The pilot reported on his tenth night landing to the runway, the approach was a little high, so he elected to do another landing. However, on the next approach, he 'overcompensated and fell below the glide slope,' and the airplane impacted a wire. The wire wrapped around the propeller, the engine lost power, and the airplane touched down in a corn field, approximately 200-300 feet short of the runway. After touchdown, the wire 'yanked' the airplane around to the left, and it came to rest upright 90 degrees from the approach heading.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain a proper glide path, which resulted in a collision with a wire. A factor was the dark night condition.
