>despite the fact there was no international treaty or instrument protecting a civilian population specifically from attack by aircraft at the time

There was the Hague Conventions from 1899/1907, specifically IV, that does exactly that.



Japan refused to sign IV(1889)/XIV(1907), so the restrictions on aerial bombardment wouldn't apply to either party.


This was literally copy-pasta from wikipedia. Feel free to edit the wikipedia entry if you think it's wrong.
