NEW YORK – William Morrow says it plans to publish the first of two books with hero pilot Chesley B. Sullenberger III late this year.

Topics will include his boyhood, his military service and, of course, his "Miracle on the Hudson" experiences.

William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, said Friday the subject and timing of the second book is not yet known.

Sullenberger safely ditched his US Airways plane in New York's Hudson River on Jan. 15 after its engines were disabled by geese. All 155 people aboard survived.

I don’t think I’m up for his poetry book but I’d love to read the other one. We need more guys like him; of course, I’m dying to know for who he voted.

Not too many pilots get called to testify before a Congressional committee...
unfortunately, a lot of them don't survive the crash landings.

He makes many Congre$$critters look awful 'small' in comparison.

He knew what he was doing. They don't.

And I'll stand by that even if he turns out to be a flaming lib.
