GC: I'd recommend a copy of *Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators* It's a
good start at explaining it all without getting too involved in the
math.

KL: Thanks for the tip. I seem to collect every book except the right
one!

You don't seem to have any trouble with the math, so I'm not sure what
value that AFNA would have for you. You're looking for more intuitive
explanations than what the math provides, and that's really hard to
come by. Most aerodynamics books don't have a lot of interest in
providing what you want.
