Old Oshkosh picture, Pax was killed.

 

The plane in front of the Vans(?) saw the fighter coming and turned out of the way onto the grass not trusting him to be able to see him and was hoping the Vans would follow suit.

Numerous eyewitnesses stated that the Avenger did not s-turn on the taxiway, though the Avenger pilot (understandably I suppose) denied this.

 

When you're in a radial taildragger, you have to make your s-turns worthwhile. I still s-turn even when I'm 99.999% sure there's absolutely no-one on the taxiway at all! And if the taxiway is too narrow, go onto the bloody grass!

 

Yes the RV passenger was killed.

Interestingly, an episode of Air Crash Investigation aired on TV yesterday, featuring the mid-air collision of a DC7 and a Constellation over the Grand Canyon in 1957. The evidence that the aircraft collided included the photo below showing prop slashes in the fuselage of the Connie.
