There used to be a good one from NASA, written for K-12 but 100% adhering to actual science not "lies for children".

EDIT: This is a good starting point for the frankly awesome material from NASA Glenn Research Centre: https://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/VirtualAero/BottleRocket/a...

Unfortunately it partly bitrotted due to using java applets for interactive demos, but I think most of it is still reachable - I'll try to find it later when I'm at the desk.

Personally I learnt from a 1980 book that was still part of mandatory reading for glider pilot course in Poland in 2005.
