The tail-wheel airplane was taking off from runway 36, a 1,845 foot-long, 60 foot-wide, asphalt runway. A witness stated that when the airplane was more than three-quarters of the way down the runway, the airplane lifted off the runway to an altitude of about 10 feet. The left wing then dropped and struck the ground. The airplane struck a small tree and came to rest in a ditch, on a cranberry bog. Examination of the airplane did not reveal any evidence of any mechanical malfunctions. Winds reported at an airport about 10 miles southeast of the accident site, about a half-hour prior to the accident, were from 330 degrees at 5 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during the takeoff.
