My reaction too (although I stop short of "intentional"). From one video that shows a wider angle, it looks as a number of aircraft including the B-17 were on a loose left-hand circuit for passes in front of the crowd line. Then the P-63 appears in frame, apparently well inside the circuit and at a higher speed, and converges on the bomber in a pursuit curve, pulling hard left at the last moment. Weird. Never seen anything like it.
