Great stage, screen and tv actor.
ReplyDeleteAherne was in the Twilight Zine episode The Trouble of Templeton playing an unappreciated actor yearning for the past.
Most notably he was an accomplished aircraft pilot and trained Royal Air Force pilots at an airfield in Arizona.(as Britain was subject to air raids, their pilots were trained in Canada and the USA) Aherne later became a charter member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of America.
