The Rock Island Arsenal just added this info about the 1918 Spanish Influenza. Based on what we have today, its very interesting.

Also, plenty of interesting military firearms stuff on their web site.

Quad City Times article on the 1918 flu. As I was reading it, I found myself checking to see if they were talking about today or 100 years ago.

Wow…while I was very familiar with the quote, I don’t guess I ever knew who said it.
