Bookworm--thank you for the elaboration. I had, in fact, forgotten that little piece of the mystery. As I said, it's been years since I taught this subject.

But in my defense, when I wrote my original response, I was addressing a 16 year old student pilot who wanted to know why induced drag increased at high angles of attack.

I think we got him back on track.
