If it helps please do. My goal was to make a short provocative peice that would spur further inquiry. The best story of what causes lift is found in college texts such as "Aerodynamics for Engineers" by John Bertin, and such books are best assimilated in the context of a college course at the same time. You hear a lecture, read the text, do some problems, argue with classmates, take a test, get many right and perhaps a few wrong- that's the fire that builds a mind.

Aerodynamics for Engineers

But for those who do not have time to drop everything and go back to school,

Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators

is quite nice as an abbreviated review.
