Narrative:

Aircraft #1 landing at uncontrolled airport (williamsburg/jamestown, va). Announced position on unicom: entering downwind, base leg, final approach. Aircraft #2 seen holding off runway, then took takeoff position while aircraft #1 on final leg. When aircraft #1 approximately 1/4 mi or less from threshold at approximately 150 ft AGL, aircraft #2 began takeoff roll. PIC of #1 advised via unicom of position as did FBO attendant who was monitoring unicom. Aircraft #2 did not respond and continued takeoff. Aircraft #1 was forced into low-level evasive action (go around with climbing turn to left). Aircraft #2 continued departure and never acknowledged radio calls. (Radio off or wrong frequency?) PIC of aircraft #1 felt #2 was in hold position even though no acknowledgment from aircraft #2. No contact, injuries or damage to either aircraft.
