During the landing roll, the tailwheel-equipped airplane bounced once then veered to the left. The pilot applied right rudder but was unable to maintain directional control. The airplane exited the runway and ground looped, which resulted in separation of the right main landing gear and substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing.
