Narrative:
2 airplanes were descending on the same approach in close vicinity to one another, at night, landing at an uncontrolled field. The communication between the 2 airplanes was not enough, in addition they were coming together in my airplane's blind spot. The first time I knew the location of the second aircraft is when I saw it break off from the approach. The plane that broke off wasn't well illuminated for the night conditions. The first time I knew of the evasive action being so required was when I was taxiing back to the FBO. I invited the other plane to discuss the matter further at the FBO, but he declined, and continued to fly south of the airport.
