Highest Duty, the memoir from celebrity pilot hero and mustached American Chesley Sullenberger, hit bookstores across the nation today. Over at Gawker, Hamilton Nolan offers his preferred title, which we present in a slightly sanitized form: “How to Crash Land a Plane in a Mother*&$#ing River and 99 Other Life Skills Every Badass Should Know.”

Another new book—Miracle on the Hudson, also released today—tells the story of Flight 1549’s crash into the Hudson River from the passengers’ perspective. USA Today has an excerpt.
