The Junkers Ju 388 was a series of mainly abortive German developments of the Junkers Ju 88 during the Second World War and included a fighter - the Junkers Ju 388J; a bomber - the Junkers Ju 388K and a reconnaissance model - the Junkers Ju 388L.
The Ju 86 was armed with three 7.92 mm MG 15 manually aimed machine-guns mounted in the nose, dorsal and retractable ventral positions and an internal bomb load of four 250 kg or sixteen 50 kg bombs.

The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka was one of the most effective of the Luftwaffe's sublime aerial weapons and was used often for bombing attacks.
The Junkers Ju 52 was a transport aircraft used for delivering men and supplies, although it also carried out bombing raids.
Some of the operations the Junkers Ju 52 took part were also in the Spanish Civil War, where it took part in the Condor Legion's destructive raids on Durango and Guernica in 1937.

 Junkers Ju 290 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Junkers Ju 290 was a long-range transport, maritime patrol aircraft and bomber used by the Luftwaffe late in World War II.
The Junkers 290 was a direct development of the Junkers Ju 90 airliner, versions of which had been evaluated for military purposes.
The "long legs" of the Ju 290 made it an excellent candidate for the Amerika Bomber project, and prototypes of an even longer-range version were ordered as the Junkers Ju 390.

The Ju 288 was created as a contender for Reichsluftfahrtministerium's Bomber B project, a programme aimed at replacing the medium bombers in the Luftwaffe's inventory that were all based on designs of the early 1930s.
The aircraft was an advanced scaled-up Junkers Ju 88, sharing its general layout and most of its fuselage and wings with extensions in various places.
As these technical difficulties were being dealt with, the lack of a decisive strategic bombing doctrine within the Luftwaffe meant that the mission and purpose of the Ju 288 remained nebulous throughout its development.

The Junkers Ju 287 was a flying testbed built to develop the technology required for a multi-engined jet bomber aircraft.
The Ju 287 was intended to provide the Luftwaffe with a bomber that could avoid interception by outrunning enemy fighters.
The first prototype was intended to evaluate the concept, and was cobbled together from the fuselage of a Heinkel He 177, the tail of a Junkers Ju 388, main undercarriage from a Junkers Ju 352, and nosewheels taken from crashed B-24 Liberators.

The aircraft was an advanced, four-engined derivative of the highly successful Junkers Ju 88, sharing most of its fuselage and wings.
This was the same engine layout used on the He 177, and the Ju 288 now showed the same problems that the Heinkel aircraft exhibited.

The Ju 188 Rächer (Avenger) was a high-performance medium bomber from Junkers, the planned follow-on to the famed Ju 88 with better performance and payload.
Although Junker's own Ju 288 was currently leading the contest, there was no delivery date on the engines and the Ju 88B project was re-submitted as a stop-gap measure.
By 1942 it was becoming clear that the Ju 288 wasn't going to be ready any time soon, and at the same time the Ju 88's were increasingly at the mercy of a rapidly improving RAF and Soviet VVS.

While the second prototype was under construction, the RLM advised Junkers to stop the developement work of the Ju287 in advance of the "Fighter Program".
The experience of the Junkers engineering and the basic Ju287 design was used at Podberesje for further developements through the following years.

Following the first volume on the Ju 188, this second title in the Black Cross series continues to look at the development of Ju 88 spin-offs, this time with the advanced Ju 288/388/488 family.
The resultant Ju 288, Ju 388, and Ju 488 did not look much alike, and in fact were separate distinct aircraft.
The Ju 288 was a potent airframe with high hopes, but problems with hydraulics and electrical systems kept it from entering active service.

"As replacement for the Ju 88 planned, the radical Ju 288 was a completely new construction with (1600 HP) radial engines, perpendicular double tail unit and double main landing gear.
Originally a bomb additional load was planned by 5000 kg, which had to be substantially reduced however because of difficulties during the handling.
When in the year 1943 many German bomber projects were painted, among them also the Ju 288, was further pursued the Ju 288 for the ground-combat engagement role using enormous single firing cannons like the equipment 104 Muenchhausen with 35.56 cm calibers.

The RLM issued a specification for a "Bomber B" design in 1939, to replace the Ju 88 and Do 217 by 1943.
The design specifications called for top speed of 600 k/hr (373 mph) at 7000 m (23000') with a range of 3600 km (2236 miles) carrying a 2000 kg (4400 lbs) bombload.

Among factories in which production seems to have ceased are the Messerschmitt 109 plants in Regensburg and the main Junkers assembly plants for JU-88/188 at Bernburg.
General Arnold further pointed out, however, that this first-line strength may be only a shell, as the constant attrition of air battles and the destruction of production facilities has depleted the Luftwaffe's reserves to a dangerous extent.
The new Junkers JU-288 has roughly similar characteristics, and is sufficiently different from the original JU-88 as to be classed as a new airplane.
