I haven't researched any of this, but I have some theories as to why "wind" isn't a part of these elements... and it goes... like thiiiiiiis >>>

The Chinese Triad gets its name from a triangular symbol they created back in the day. Each point of the triangle represents: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

And I've also read other things in Chinese philosophy/mysticism that separates earth from heaven.

So in any case, I would think "Wind" would be more associated with "Heaven" than "Earth" and therefore not be included w/ the 5 elements of Wu Xing (which are earthly elements).

If there is a person or martial arts style associated with wind or sky, it would be something above these 5 Dragons.

You know what, you're right... after that first Elements comment someone made I looked to see what they were
http://www.easytaichi.co.uk/images/five_elements.gif
I thought "wood" said "wind" when I first glanced it. Looks kinda like... "wand" in that blurry mess
Poor Aang! Won't be able to bend there... or breathe... oh, right, he can bend everthing else. He can't complain too much. (Especially since he can't breathe)
J/p, good work on the pages though

No. "Wind/Air" is associated with the other more well known zodiac/astrology...The wind signs being "Libra, Aquarius and Gemini"...

As far as Chinese zodiac goes, what MSperoni said makes perfect sense imo....

"So in any case, I would think "Wind" would be more associated with "Heaven" than "Earth" and If there is a person or martial arts style associated with wind or sky, it would be something above these 5 Dragons."

Yeah, in Chinese I can see wind/air being associated with gods instead of terrestrial elements.
