The pilot reported that the first flight of the day in the accident airplane was uneventful. On the second flight of the day, it was uneventful from takeoff to touchdown. However, during the landing roll in the tail wheel equipped airplane, the right brake was inoperative, and resulted in the airplane veering to the left off the runway surface.

A postaccident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that right brake master cylinder had disconnected from the right rudder pedal.
