Seems like "too large" a skew, I mean given that in the current one only a very small percentage of the young develops severe disease, and one wouldn't expect those to be "highly notcieable" as seems from this epidemic account

The war may have played a role, young healthy soldiers crowded together in very unsanitary conditions. But if I remember correctly 2009 H1N1 was fairly harsh on the young? It would be interesting to see if young women were at as much risk considering they weren’t fighting.

Average life expectancy at age 20 in 1920 was 48 additional years (i.e. survive to 68 if you made it to 20). Now life expectancy at 20 is about 55 additional years (i.e. survive to 75 if you make it to 20) I don't know if that's significant enough to account for any difference
