Since the current thread on Greg's book concentrates on colo(u)rs and markings, I'll not intrude.
Cross-checking the Osprey book with Grub Street's Above the Lines, it appears the top D.VII aces (with few exceptions) were: Lowenhardt 36 Buchner 35? Udet 32-34 Bäumer 21? Noltenius 20-21 Friedrichs 20? Hantelmann 20? Beaulieu 17-20 Fruhner 18 Lorzer 18 Veltjens 17? Bolle 16? The main omission is Rumey of J.5 (not assigned to a JG) with at least 16 in D.VIIs, roughly based on the chronology of his victories. As Greg has noted, inexact dates of D.VII conversion and use of other a/c (Bäumer's Pfalz D.VIII ferinstance) tends to complicate things.
