Whoa Buddy. Wind it in. This is not about me.

I've read How Airplanes Fly: A Physical Description of Lift, and like these guys I start with Newton. Since I'm not qualified to work at the National Accelerator Laboratory Batavia IL, or the Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics University of Washington, that's where I stop. And when I stop I make it clear that what I've told them is the beginning of the story, not the end. I then point them at google if they're interested in finding out more.

You might like to note that the article in question is entitled A Physical Description of Lift, not A Newtonian Theory of Lift. And BTW I think it's an excellent article.
