I guess then that the AOA must vary along the length of each wing too.
No. Just that part of the wing in front of the aileron

When they go down ailerons act to increase the curvature of their bit of the wing so give more local AOA. Likewise they reduce curvature and AOA when they go up.

Re articles thank you. BTW Don't hesitate to suggest topics for same.
