The central theme running through the stories below is winter and snow. The stories are complete, stand alone tales from the Victor and the Hornet. As usual I have no information as to who the writers were for these stories. Artists where known have been identified.

The following adventure is from the Victor 1969 annual featuring the Helicarriers (artist Sturrock?).

Rescuing of people is the main theme in the next selection of stories. We join World War Two military agents, Lieutenants Mike Carfax and John Dale on a mission to rescue a Major Bullitt from an impregnable castle prison. (Artwork by Yaroslav Horak).

The Hornet front and back cover story tells the true adventures of Canadian pilot Lyle Gibson, whose plane in 1966 crashed in the Rockies and of his amazing efforts in contacting help. Gibson was awarded the OBE for his bravery. Artwork is by Peter Sutherland. Sutherland didn't draw many front / back cover stories. He was probably too busy drawing the Tupper and Palooka strips to have the time. But he seems to have drawn a small number for the Hornet. And if he drew any cover stories for the Victor, they were far and few between. Story from issue 175

The final story in this section is about the adventures of a British airplane and some Americans surviving in Greenland during 1942. Artwork is by Farrugia. Story from issue 117 of the Hornet.

Finally, we join a desperate wintery race in occupied Holland, from the 1984 Victor annual. Artist not known.
