 Junkers Ju 390 Information
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.
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".

 ::Junkers 88::
The Junkers Ju 88 was a highly versatile plane that saw service throughout World War Two.
In March 1939, a Ju 88 flew for 1000 km (621 miles) carrying a 2000 kg (4,409 lb) payload at 321 mph(517 km/h) — a record.
During the Battle of Britain, the Ju 88 was vulnerable to the much faster Spitfires and Hurricanes of Fighter Command but to a lesser extent than the Heinkel 111 as it was faster and more manoeuvrable than the larger Heinkel.

Finally, it was Junkers that developed and placed into combat operation the first successful jet engines, and that the company accomplished it all while under overwhelming assault by the Western Allies’ military power, resources, and technology until Germany’s final defeat is deserving of the highest respect.
By the early 1930s, Junkers was manufacturing the G-38, a large, four-engine passenger aircraft, with an enormous wing, and soon its successor, famously known as, “Tante Ju,” the ubiquitous Ju 52/3m, appearing in 1932.
Neither achieved operational status, although the Ju 388 was reported to have been used on reconnaissance flights over England during the last months of the war.
