About the Author
Chesley B. Sullenberger III, widely known as Captain Sully, is a retired airline pilot and safety expert whose extraordinary heroism in 2009 saved the lives of all 155 passengers and crew aboard US Airways Flight 1549 after a bird strike forced an emergency landing on the Hudson River. Born in Texas and a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Sully's career spanned over three decades in aviation, where he became a leading advocate for aviation safety and human factors in high-stakes environments. In his memoir Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters – The Major Motion Picture True Story of Captain Sully and the Hudson River Miracle, he reflects on the values that guided his life and the profound lessons from that fateful day, inspiring readers with tales of resilience, duty, and the human spirit's capacity to triumph over crisis.
