Summary: "Unfortunately, sometime around WWII, Newton’s laws were replaced by the Bernoulli theorem and a hand-waving argument for the acceleration of air over the top of a wing. It is our hope that teachers will return to the basics and use Newton’s laws to describe lift. Then students can explore flight in much more depth than was possible with the popular explanation using Bernoulli."
