Theory of lift

Seems there is another member of the aviation community who disagrees with this. The person behind this claim is a Swedish guy by the name of Martin Ingelman Sundberg.

His thoughts are as far as i understand them that the "bernoulli" principle is correct in the fact that the principleis correctly defined, but does not apply to the theory of lift.

He theorise that the air over the top of the aerofoil is not the part that creates the lift, but the underside. Find it hard to believe myself, but thought i would throw a fox in amongst the chickens...
