Synopsis
Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger became a national hero after his miraculous water landing of US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River after both of the plane's engines lost power as the result of collision with a flock of birds. Though his fame came from the actions of a few hours, his autobiography HIGHEST DUTY shows that his remarkable calm and focus came from a lifetime of responsibility and preparation. The son of a World War II Veteran, Sullenberger learned from his father that a true leader is responsible for the lives of those entrusted to him. He took this ethos with him from the day he flew his first plane (a crop-duster) at the age of 16, until that fateful day nearly 40 years later when all of the 155 passengers onboard his flight survived the crash landing--something Sullenberger made sure of by inspecting the sinking airplane twice, before, like a true captain, leaving last.

Publisher's Note
Airline pilot Captain "Sully" Sullenberger tells his life story, including his perspective on the emergency landing on the Hudson River that earned him the world's admiration, and offers insight on the essential qualities--leadership, responsibility and service--that he believes have been vital to his success. 350,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"Concluding with Sullenberger's diffidence about his unsought renown, this memoir-drama imparts insights about the piloting profession as it enthralls readers with its exultant plotline of disaster averted."

"[H]ighly readable....Thanks to meticulous attention to white knuckle detail by Sully, writing with Jeffrey Zaslow, HIGHEST DUTY doesn't lose thrust just because we already know its outcome."
