A rare one of him laughing- he looks better grumpy.

Thanks very much Andrew!

Is it the jacket makes the man or the Man makes the jacket? Will the General still looks good on Us Authentic A-2?

I've always liked this one as my favorite A-2 photo.
When the jacket matches the face, break-in is complete!

MacArthur wore at least two different A2s, a RW 23380 and the no-name 25573, which seems to be featured in most of the pics posted by Andrew.

What jacket he wears? Aero?
Could be RW?

Thanks, Andrew. Great pics.

Great jacket - mediocre General, lousy politician!

the only thing MacArthur was good at was getting his picture taken.

See the earlier post. He wore a RW and the no name Cable A2.

Chennault's jacket is an Aero. According to John Chapman, it is a 16160. There is a close up of it on the Good Wear web site.
