Wikipedia - Lift (force)
The explanation seems reasonable and the "Reference and Notes" also has
most of the players quoted.
Of note -
In short, Bernoulli’s equation is a straight-forward application of Newton’s laws, often
misinterpreted. There are other details that must be included in a full treatment of
aerodynamic/hydrodynamic flow, including viscous drag and turbulence, but there should be no
surprises in Bernoulli’s equation.
The difficulties are removed by recognizing that Bernoulli’s equation tell us that a pressure
difference causes a change in speed, and pressure differences are caused by curvature of flow,
interpreted locally as producing a centrifugal force.
For those who wish to avoid the details, it is only necessary to point out that where there is
curved fluid flow, there is a pressure difference (i.e., lift), and from Bernoulli’s equation (simply
and properly interpreted) the existence of the pressure difference tells us there must be a speed
difference.
