The tunnel king : the true story of Wally Floody and the great escape / Barbara Hehner.

Hehner, Barbara. (Author).

Summary:

The Great Escape was one of the most daring prisoner-of-war breakouts of the Second World War. Yet few Canadians know the heroic story of Wally Floody. Wally was a Canadian fighter pilot, imprisoned in Stalag Luft III, who was a key figure--the Tunnel King--in the carefully planned escape. Packed with fascinating details of life in the camp, such as how the prisoners learned to build their own radios from empty cookie tins or make hockey skates from scrap metals, The Tunnel King is not only an exciting and action-packed story, but a tribute to a courageous Canadian.
