According to news accounts as well as statements put out by the County of Maui and the Maui PD, Langford was at the wheel of a blue 2010 Chevy Impala rental car that was reported stolen a week before when police spotted him in the parking lot of the Mana Kai Maui Resort in Kihei. |

“A shell crashed ashore. In the dun-colored houses along Kahului’s waterfront, stevedores and their women heard the gun again, like a door slamming, and again the crash of the shell. The Jap fired ten rounds in all. Then the submarine disappeared in the night. Announcing this attack on an undefended, unimportant cane-&-pineapple port, the U.S. Navy reported: no casualties, negligible damage.”
-From “Dusk in Kahului,” Time Magazine, Dec. 28, 1941 |
