Ever seen Eisenhower wearing an A-2 ?

I was looking at the website of the D-day Experience at Saint Côme du Mont in Normandy. There was a link to an article that the proprietor Mr. Michel de Trez had acquired Eisenhowers' A-jacket.

I have never seen a pic Ike wearing an A-2. Did anyone of you ever seen this...?

This jacket the “No Name 27753” for those who aren’t familiar with it was made by the Cable Raincoat Company in April of 1942. It was Horsehide and had a Conmar #5 M-40 zip.
Credit that info to Gary Eastman’s A2 Flight Jacket Identification Manual.
