message: ISFDB lists no publications for Russell prior to 1937 and five during that year (all Shortfiction). The publication sequence of four stories is clear because they appeared in four of the twelve monthly issues of Astounding. 
The other, listed first by ISFDB (presumably because "no month"; 0 precedes 1 to 12), appeared in the inaugural Tales of Wonder. See Tales of Wonder #1 at ISFDB. (Russell one of four among six authors who are named on the cover, evidently not illustrated on the cover.)
Because four numbers of this magazine followed in 1938 and four in 1939, it seems likely that #1 was published at the end of the 1937. Our magazine article, perhaps copied from Tuck, makes it the Winter 1937 issue and places that at the end of the year, unlike some other Winter issues.(table)

Should we use dmy dates here? If not, why not? We now use American mdy dates. 
Should some version of British English be used here? "Some version", I say, because I don't when/where/whether we use Oxford spelling for British English. Now we have:
: endeavours, humorous, humour; categorized, popularized, recognizing, serialized; (also catalogue inside my WP:COMMENT)

message: I'd like to see more of Russell's short stories. Dear Devill is definitely missing IMO. 
I already added inline citation to a statement in  section (and removed related citation needed template); the text cited from  was also published in  (Jim Baen's Universe, August 2009); same source includes an extensive list of Russel's work. --Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 16:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

message: Russell turned 40 in the year the war ended, so I doubt that he would have been considered too old for active service (subject to correction).  If he had spent the war years dreaming up dirty tricks, or asymmetrical warfare tactics, to use against the Axis, would his service record say so, or would it contain some cover story about operating and repairing mobile wireless apparatus?
