Summary/Abstract: Military aviation is a one of most crucial elements of the warfare, both past and present. Vet, the legal ramifications of the air warfare are scattered due to the lack of a treaty comprehensively regulating the conduct of aerial operations during the armed conflicts. This monograph aims to present the history of air warfare, and the corresponding development of the law of air warfare, from the beginnings of the military aviation to the era of unmanned and autonomous aircrafts.This book is a translation into English of the monography Wojna powietrzna a międzynarodowe prawo humanitarne {Wydawnictwo Uniwerystetu Łódzkiego, Łódź 2021). Project was financed by state budget funds from the Ministry of Education and Science (Poland) under the program “Doskonała nauka II. Wsparcie monografii naukowych”, number MONOG/SP/0055/2023/01. The book was updated by the relevant observation arising out of the armed conflicts ongoing in the Ukraine and the Middle East.
