I thought it was a combination of newtons third law and Bernoulli's principle, the wings are hitting the air and the air exerts equal force in the opposite direction, Bernoulli's principle allows this equal opposite force to provide easier lift.

Wright you are.

Really? I got a few down-votes... I also know the angle of attack of the wing is important, no angle of attack, no lift?
In aviation, we consider deflection and Bernoulli's principle as both important.
In physics, it's mostly about pressure differentials.
When you try to get more specific than that in a forum comment, it means you probably don't really know what you're talking about.
