The pilot advised that during the landing roll, the aircraft swung sharply to the right. He applied left brake to counter the swing. The aircraft began to straighten but it veered sharply to the right again. The left landing gear leg collapsed and the left wing struck and propeller struck the ground. A subsequent inspection revealed that the brakes contained no evidence of a brake failure, however, an engineer rebuilding the aircraft discovered a pre-existing fatigue crack through about half the left landing gear leg. It is probable the fatigued landing gear leg failed during the landing roll.
