After watching more footage of the B17 and P63 mid air crash from a different angle, it now looks more likely the P63 pilot lost sight of the B17. The P63 is known to have somewhat poor visibility forwards and down (it's got a long nos) from the angle of it's turn into the formation it looks like the B17 might have been in it's "blind spot" so it seems likely the P63 pilot simply couldn't see the B17.
The NTSB will have a report out in about 6 weeks with it's early finding.
