Konflikty zbrojne niosą ze sobą nieodłączne zagrożenie dla ludności cywilnej. Rozwój w obszarze strategii, sztuki operacyjnej, taktyki, sprzętu wojskowego, jak też środków bojowych potęgował ryzyko dla zwykłych ludzi. Chcąc zmniejszyć poziom strat wśród osób niezaangażowanych w działania sił zbrojnych, skodyfikowano międzynarodowe prawo humanitarne, chroniące cywili i obiekty z nimi związane. Prawo to jednakże nie gwarantuje całkowitej ochrony, dopuszczając pewien poziom strat, poniesionych na skutek działań, określanych terminem collateral damage. Określenie to budzi kontrowersje, gdyż postrzegane jest jako usprawiedliwienie zabijania ludzi, przy uwzględnieniu faktu, że ochrona ludności cywilnej nie zawsze była priorytetowym zadaniem dla walczących stron. Stąd w artykule zwrócono uwagę na sytuację oraz skalę zagrożenia dla cywili w kontekście działań lotnictwa wojskowego w wybranych konfliktach zbrojnych, od I wojny światowej począwszy.

Military conflicts pose an inherent threat to civilians. The development in the field of strategy, operational art, tactics, military equipment, as well as munitions, has escalated the risk for regular people. In pursuit to lower the level of loses amongst people not involved in the military operations, the international humanitarian law has been codified for protection of civilians and related objects. The law, however, does not imply the full protection, allowing the possibility to cause some harm, as a result of military activity, called collateral damage. Keeping in mind that safety and security of civilians were not always the main concern for belligerents, the term, seen as a justifying of killing of human beings, is a subject of much controversy. Hence stress was put on the situation of and threat to civilians in the context of air operations through chosen military conflicts, starting with WW I.

In his book A Realistic Theory of Law, Brian Z. Tamanaha presents a vision of the historical development of law in connection with social, economic and techno- logical factors. He aims to revive a tradition of legal realism which can be traced back to the writings of Montesquieu. The tradition was neglected in the 20th century, when natural law theory and, especially, analitycal jurisprudence were largely advanced. Tamanaha exposes the shortcomings of analytical jurispru- dence. Instead of endeavors to find an abstract definition of law, he offers a range of historical and sociological essays which outline the constant evolution of law. It is not clear, however, if Tamana is fully aware of all the possible conclusions that might be drawn out of the stress he puts on evolution. If there is no “nature of law” at all, we may easily find ourselves deprived of any reliable theoretical knowledge concearning law. It might be said then, that Tamanaha seems rather to abandon than to solve the problem of the nature of law. One may also ask, if Tamanaha’s book, with all its versatility of examples taken from the past and present of economic and political life, should be considered a book on jurisprudence or a book on history and sociology.
