While landing a Starduster II the aircraft swerved and the right main landing gear collapsed. The aircraft slid to a stop on the runway. The passenger in the front seat has a bruise on right leg. I have no injuries. Weather was clear and 10 plus with winds light and variable. In retrospect when the aircraft started to swerve I should have gone around; but thought that I could straighten it out.
