Estimates of the date have been given as either 1942 (Keltner) or 1944 (Heritage). No date is present anywhere on the issue, and all other full-size Chesler publications resume in 1944, with the exception of his partnership (of some sort) with Lev Gleason on Captain Battle Comics (Chesler / Dynamic, 1942 series) #3, which was probably released in Winter 1942 and no later than 1943. The 1944 publication date is likely for this issue, bringing it nearer to the publication of issue #9 (1944).
Jerry Bails’ Who’s Who lists Gus Ricca as not having done covers for Chesler until 1944, indicating further that 1944 is the probable year of this comic book's publishing.
