Ju-188
Medium Bomber
Junkers

The Ju-188 bomber was supposed to replace the Ju-88. After the
outbreak of World War II, his project was already approaching the prototype
stage, but in 1941 there were unexpected delays: and it became clear that an
intermediate model should appear between the Ju-88 and Ju-288. This aircraft
turned out to be the Ju-188, created on the basis of the Ju-88B prototype and first
flown in 1940.
Ju.188 E - the first production version with BMW 801C-2 engines. The deliveries
of the E series to the troops began earlier than the A series due to the presence of
a sufficient number of BMW-801 engines. The pre-production Ju.188e-0, in
contrast to the Ju.188a-0, retained the air brakes. They were also on the first
serial E-1 with BMW-801ML engines, which differed from the BMW-801MA, which
were on the pre-production cars, only by the propeller control system. Their
takeoff power was 1600 hp. and 1380 liters. from. at an altitude of 4600 m. The
bomb load was the same as on the A series, but instead of a 20-mm cannon, an
MG-131 machine gun was installed in the upper turret.
Ju.188 E-1 differed from the pre-production machines initially only in engines, but
soon enough they were replaced by BMW-801D-2 or G-2 with takeoff power of
1700hp and 1440hp at an altitude of 5700m. The Ju.188e-2 was a torpedo
bomber modeled on the A-3. Several of these machines were produced without
the EDL-131 upper turret.
Ju-188 began to enter service in 1942, about 1100 of these aircraft were
produced, including the Ju-188A bomber with two Yumo 212A engines with a
capacity of 1776 hp each. and its reconnaissance version Ju-188D; 6th bomber

Ju-188 D/F
Long-Range Reconnaissance Aircraft

Serial production of reconnaissance aircraft began in mid-1943. The aircraft were


built at the Junkers (Bernburg), Allgemeine Transportanlagen (ATG, Leipzig),
Siebel (Halle) and SNCASE (Toulouse, France) factories. Since 1944, only
reconnaissance versions have been produced. A total of 570 scouts were
released. Reconnaissance versions of the Ju 188 were in service in Germany
since 1943.
The Ju 188 scouts first appeared in the 5th Air Fleet in the Arctic at the beginning
of 1944.Since the spring of 1944, these machines have already been massively
used on the Eastern and Western Fronts: in France, Northern Italy and the Baltic
States. At the beginning of 1945, a total of more than ten squadrons flew on them.
The Ju 188 was withdrawn from production in August 1944. These machines
were used in combat operations until the end of the war. One copy of the Ju
188D-1 in January 1945 was captured by Soviet troops in Hungary, but was not
tested.
