Narrative:
I was on about a 3 mile final approach to runway 34; inside the class D. A [warbird] was instructed to follow me and report me in sight. Evidently; the tower assumed that [the warbird] was a cessna 172. The [warbird] came within 100 yards horizontally and less than 30 ft. Vertically (as told to me by the pilot afterwards) before he saw me and took evasive action and did a left 360.
