Background[ | ]
Main article: Junkers Ju 188
A high-performance, twin-engined medium bomber designed by Junkers to succeed the Ju 88 multi-purpose bomber, as part of the Bomber B competition. Introudced in 1943, the 188 offered improved performance and payload capacity, but despite the advantages, it fell victim to the shifting tides of the war. With the German industry plagued by British bombing raids, production shifted to fighters, with new bomber designs like the 188 abandoned in their favor and leaving the Luftwaffe with last-generation designs.
Only a little over 1 200 air frames were produced.
