Further to the history of order types of models of arithmetic: I quote from
an email from Leon Henkin (with his permission), a reply to the question of
whether the result is original with him:
"As you can see from my paper (in vol 2 of BSL), The Discovery of my
Completeness Theorems, I came upon my results with almost no contact with
earlier papers. If the result you mention was found earlier by someone else,
I am not aware of it, but I'm not at all an authority on the history of the
subject."
