It was designed as a high-altitude bomber, reconnaissance aircraft and night fighter. Introduced in 1943, the Ju 388 was a further development of the Ju 88 with improved engines, better defence armament and pressurised crew cabins for use at high altitudes. Despite its advanced design, only a limited number of examples were produced for Germany due to the deteriorating war situation, meaning that it was only used to a limited extent before the end of the war.
