The first prototype of the Ju 89 flew on April 11 1937, and the RLM cancelled the strategic bomber requirement just two and a half weeks later, on April 29.
Both Ju 89 prototypes seem to have been scrapped by the end of 1939 although some sources claim that they were still in use the following year in Norway.

 Junkers Ju 390 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Junkers Ju 390 was a long-range derivative of the Junkers Ju 290 and was intended to be used as a heavy transport, maritime patrol aircraft, and bomber.
None of these were actually built by the time that the project was cancelled (along with Ju 290 production) in mid 1944.
The best known (and maybe earliest publication) of the claim in English was in William Green's Warplanes of the Third Reich in 1970, where he wrote that the Ju 390 flew to "a point some 12 miles from the US coast, north of New York".

There is a heavily disputed claim that in January 1944, the second prototype Ju 390 made a trans-atlantic flight from Mont-de-Marsan (near Bordeaux) to some 20 km (12 miles) of the coast of the United States and back.
While the type's 32-hour endurance would have certainly made such a crossing theoretically possible, there is a distinct lack of evidence to support the claim, despite the fact that the flight is alleged to have been recorded both in Junkers company records and in the logbooks of the squadron that operated the two prototype aircraft.
The vagueness of detail and lack of corroborating evidence are hallmarks of an urban legend.
