Wing Chun Illustrated Reviews Tom Wong's Book
Although the book focuses mainly on the Aumei style of Wing Chun from Yuen Kay San/Sum Neng lineage, Secret Origin of Wing Chun is a must-read for any practitioner because it provides in-depth insights into the historical and philosophical roots of Wing Chun, and how they apply to effective fighting. Highly recommended.

My Experience Using The Flopping Wing
When I was doing the sparring test against Bobo (who is a bit shorter than me), the attack that was difficult for me to flopping wing was the low punch.
