The Junkers Ju 188, nicknamed Racher or Avenger, was a high-performance medium bomber built by Junkers for the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. It was planned as the follow-up to the Ju 88, with better performance and payload, and it descended from the Ju 88 airframe with a new stepless cockpit design. The Ju 188 was chosen for production in October 1942 after the large-engine Bomber B programme was delayed by unreliable engines. More than 1,000 aircraft were built, but production was curtailed early because improved versions of the Ju 88 appeared and because Allied strategic bombing pushed German industry toward fighter production.
