Larry said, "The primary source of lift on the wing is the low pressure
on the top
surface causing the standard atmosphere pressure on the bottom to be
greater. We call the result "lift"

If you hadn't mentioned it in another post, I would know just from this
statement above that you haven't read Langeschwische's "Stick & Rudder"

I'm sure you didn't mean to imply by your subject line "Bernoulli's
Myth" that Bernoulli's law is a myth but it's application to a wing
creating lift is not accurate.
NASA's explanation on wing lift does take in to account Bernoulli's law
and that it is the generally accepted theory. They also state that
Bernoulli's law theory may not be totally accurate or complete. A
statement from their site, when speaking of wings with a curved upper
surface, states: " Such airfoils do produce a lot of lift and flow
turning, but it is the turning
<https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/right2.html> that's
important, not the distance."
There is considerable information available if someone googles "how an
airplane wing creates lift".
Not having Mr. Langeschwische's book, I'm curious as to his explanation
of wing lift theory. Do I need to buy the book?

P.S. I hope no one whispers to my Marvel-Schebler that Bernoulli's law
is a myth or my engine may not start the next time I go to fly. :-)
