Balloon Flying Handbook
Excellent counterpoint to Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters, though better written. Langewiesche's dry humor comes through at times as he depicts both the events and the history that led to them. The best chapters (and the origin of the title) are the description of the Fly-by-Wire design of the Airbus planes and a comparison to Boeing craft from the same era. Interestingly, Sullenberger never mentions this factor in his book, perhaps intentionally.
Excellent coverage is also given to the NTSB investigation and hearing - which plays prominently in the trailer I saw for the movie Sully. Highest Duty also glosses over this for the most part.
A quick read, and definitely the better book, though I am glad I read both before the film.
