Pilot would have been able to see over his nose as it wasn’t a hard bank from that angle. No change in its AoA.
He's clearly over 45° which means all he can see is the ground to his left and sky everywhere else. He might have never even seen the bomber.

Plus the P-63 has a pretty long nose on it so couple that with bank angle and where the B-17 was in relationship to him he probably never saw it.

Even if he saw the other plane, he was probably pulling hard as he could into the turn and thinking he was going to evade up until he realized it was too late. It happened so fast he wouldn't have had much more of a chance than to start the bank and then realize "oh shite" and it was too late.

It’s possible.
