No, read the article. The dotted line indicates that a million flights per year have yet to be reached and that therefore the baseline for statistical significance has not yet been met (hence the dotted line).
P10/20 shows that progressively, regularly, the safety level of pilots not helped by systems was dramatically decreasing threw the whole period 1958-2013 (x3! ).
The graphs on P.10 only begin at the year 1994.
Pure curiosity : which are the numbers of fatal events of the DC3 ?
Difficult to say given the reliability of stats from that period, but if you read "Fate Is The Hunter", it becomes apparent by the end of the book that around half the pilots he trained with in the first chapter are dead.
