Synopsis
Excerpt from Aircraft in War
Chevalier Bayard's denunciation, many centuries ago, of the then newly invented musket - an invention of a purely destructive character and obviously less adapted than the aeroplane for use in peace. The introduction of steam transport by land and sea three-quarters of a century ago must have aroused similar misgivings in conservative minds, which could not see how civilisa tion would be benefited by the discovery of the new means of travel.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published just prior to World War I, explores the then-novel concept of aerial warfare. The author, an expert in international law, surveys the Hague Conventions and Declarations of 1899 and 1907, finding them inadequate in addressing the new dimension of air combat. The book delves into important ethical and legal questions raised by aircraft in war, such as distinguishing between civilian and military aircraft, the treatment of captured aircrew, and the liability of neutral states for aircraft overflights or landings. With remarkable foresight, the author even considers the possibility of aerial bombardments of civilian targets and the need for international regulation. This book remains a valuable historical document, offering insights into the legal and ethical challenges posed by a new technology that would soon revolutionize warfare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330453261_0
