Here's a representative graph I really like, from Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, with the steady state speeds overlaid (at the risk of introducing a whole 'nother set of example numbers to confound future posts). Really wrapping everything together, and back to the trim relationship question at the beginning of the thread. You can see how at the faster speeds, every degree of AOA yields a larger speed difference than at the lower speeds.
