Almost looks deliberate. How could that small plane not avoid that?

Seems like he went out of his way to lead the bomber and veered off course from the other fighters he was following to do so

Looks like he went belly up to the B17. When you lose sight like that, you need to pull up higher, cut WAY inside or go more wings level and slide to the outside. I suspect the pilot didn’t want to look bad and thought he’d regain sight in a moment. Lots of people have died doing rejoins like that.
