Given your small size I would pay particular attention to the sizing and cut of the A2. Most modern ones, even in small sizes, are cut for oversized people and have very wide shoulders and lots of spare room around the torso. They can look pretty bad.
For instance, in my size, which is usually a 42, I have found a 38 or 40 a better fit in modern mass produced A2's just to keep the jacket trim.
US Authentic are sized pretty large. When I looked at a 42 a couple of years ago is was at least a size too big for me.
You need to establish what your shoulder width, your armpit to armpit, sleeve length and back length are. Do this by measuring a jacket that fits well.
If you can establish this you will save yourself hundreds of dollars over the years.
You probably only need 17 inches in the shoulder width. Cockpit USA, for instance don't go narrower than 19 inches.
