George Woodbridge (October 3, 1930 – January 20, 2004) was an American illustrator known for his exhaustive research and historical accuracy, and for his 44-year run as a contributor to MAD Magazine. He was sometimes referred to as "America's Dean of Uniform Illustration" because of his expertise in drawing military uniforms.[1][2]
Born in Flushing, Queens, Woodbridge studied illustration at Manhattan's School of Visual Arts.[3] In later years, he lived on Staten Island, where he created his detailed drawings of military uniforms, insignia and equipment.
