Their Friendly Enemy is a novel by Gardner Hunting, first published in 1921. The book is set during World War I and follows the story of two pilots, one American and one German, who find themselves stranded together on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Despite their nationalities and the fact that they are technically enemies, the two men form a bond and work together to survive on the island.As they spend more time together, the American pilot, Jack, and the German pilot, Carl, begin to realize that they have more in common than they thought. They both love flying and have a deep respect for each other's skills as pilots. They also both have families back home that they miss dearly.As the days turn into weeks and the weeks turn into months, the two men become close friends and confidants. They share their hopes and fears for the future, and discuss what they will do when the war is over. However, as time goes on, they begin to worry about whether they will ever be rescued from the island.Their Friendly Enemy is a heartwarming tale of friendship and camaraderie in the midst of war. It shows that even in the most dire of circumstances, people can come together and find common ground.
