This is an updated, enhanced and corrected version of the data originally compiled for the recent "late war planes" thread
Depicted are the air to air combat shares (by the means of adding a2a kills and deaths) of EW and MW fighters in the LW arena only. 2016 data consists of tours 192-196
EW, MW fighters = fighters first appearing unperked in the EW respectively MW arena.
I didn't extend it to earlier years because in 2006/2007 the EW & MW arenas had no seperate stats and were included in the 'main arena' data.
The A2A shares of EW fighters in the LW arena(s) did drop by app. 30% over the past few years. However, the combined share of EW & MW fighters had stayed remarkably constant over the past 8 years. Thus the true LW fighter's share also stayed quite constant at around 70%.
