Did the 1918 pandemic have asymptomatic carriers as the covid 19 pandemic does?

As far as we can tell, most if not all viruses have the potential for asymptomatic carriers. Do we know for sure that the 1918 Spanish Flu did? Not with direct evidence. That kind of testing just didn't exist back then. But we can say with a fairly high degree of confidence that yes it did.
