Historical Information

The Junkers Ju 188 was a development of the well-known Ju 88. Produced in Germany, it appeared on the front lines in 1943 as the Luftwaffe's answer to the growing need for tactical bombers and long-range reconnaissance aircraft. The Ju 188A version was most commonly used as a bomber, while the Ju 188E was adapted for reconnaissance missions. Both variants saw action during air battles and bombing raids on Allied infrastructure from 1943 to 1945, until the end of World War II.
