Actually, Ernest, its a bit of both from my understanding.  But, I put most
of my money on Newton {:>) as I was never convinced that the air molecule on
top of the wing really knew it had to travel faster to meet its
below-the-wing partner at the same instant they both left the trailing edge.
I always wonder how it knew just how fast to go to do that - I mean who told
it, Bernoulli? {:>) and besides, seems to me it got the rotten end of the
deal having to go further and travel faster - just not fair.
