As the nation mobilized for war in the spring of 1918, ailing Private Albert Gitchell reported to an army hospital in Kansas. He was diagnosed with the flu, a disease about which doctors knew little. Before the year was out, America would be ravaged by a flu epidemic that killed 675,000 people - more than died in all the wars of this century combined - before disappearing as mysteriously as it began. American Experience: Influenza 1918 is the story of the worst epidemic the United States has ever known. In 1918, America was at war and returning soldiers brought the flu back home. Within months, the disease spread from soldiers to civilians with the eastern seaboard the hardest hit. The speed at which the disease took its toll varied - some felt healthy in the morning and were dead by nightfall while others endured a prolonged death as their lungs filled with fluid. Then, as quickly as it arrived, the epidemic vanished, having no more victims susceptible to its wrath.
