Sorry that I can not quote the exact link but I did come accross a NASA link once on this very topic which suggested that about 20% of total lift came from Bernoulli and the rest from reaction ( ie Newton) and the flat plate effect. I think the Bernoulli bit has a lot to do delaying the flow separation which is very bad on a flat plate.
