Flight Lieutenant Wally Floody OBE (born Clarke Wallace Chant Floody) (April 28, 1918 - September 25, 1989), was an imprisoned Second World War pilot who was instrumental in organizing and implementing the "Great Escape" from the German Stalag Luft III prisoner of war (POW) camp.Floody was born in Chatham, Ontario. He attended Northern Vocational School. In 1936 he headed north to work at the Preston East Dome Mines in Timmins, Ontario as a mucker shovelling the rock and mud into carts to be hauled up to the surface. The job would have a prophetic impact on Wally in a few years.At the onset of the war, Wally worked on a ranch in Alberta when he decided to return home to enlist in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). He financed his trip back east by shovelling coal into the boiler of the locomotive for the entire trip back to Toronto. After learning that the RCAF was not quite ready for the huge influx of personnel, Wally and Betty married on May 24, 1940 and moved to Kirkland Lake, Ontario where Wally could go back to working in the mines.
