PostBuy the Cover? (2/17)

Look at the following cover. Imagine that you have only the cover and the information it provides (including images, title and author name) to decide whether to buy this (or any) book.

Would you buy this book having looked only at its cover? If so, what on this cover sold you? If not, what on this cover turned you off?

If you have, in fact, bought and/or read this book, tell us how well our verdicts guided us. Did the cover lead us rightly into great fiction? Or did the cover wrongly steer us toward a bad story or away from a great one?

So, would you buy this book by its cover?

I haven't been reading much lately, but this one is on my "to aquire" list. I've enjoyed everything I've read by Willis so far.

I know nothing about it, but it looks like alternate history... WWII bombers over the US Capital. I'd pick it up to learn more about it.
