Some sources claim that this was a development of the Ju 388,
but it actually was a four-engined long-range bomber, built
of Ju 188, Ju 288 and Ju 388 parts. The development of
the Ju 488 was ordered from manufacturers in occupied France,
who were not very motivated. When the prototype finally neared
completion, it had to be transported to Germany because of the
Allied advance, but before it could be moved it was destroyed by
the French resistance.

| FRANCOIS LAPORTE, 21.03.2008 WRONG, WRONG, AND ALSO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS PLANE WAS MADE IN FRANCE IN 1944. IT WAS DESTROYED BY THE FRENCH RESISTANCE. AND I HAVE REAL PROVE, MY GRANFATHER TOLD ME THAT HE WAS IN THE RESISTANCE GROUP THAT DESTROYED THE JU 488 WITH STEN GUNS AND STICKGRENADES AND EGG GRENADES. AFTER THEY DROVE THE GERMANS OUT, HE MANGED TO TAKE A PHOTO OF THE WRECKAGE BEFORE MOVING OUT. ITS NOT THE WELL KNOWN PICTURE TAKEN BY THE GERMANS AFTER TAKING IT BACK, THIS PHOTO COSTS OVER $700,000. THATS HOW RARE THIS PHOTO IS. | | STEVEN, ben-sons(@)cbn.net.id, 06.09.2007 I HAVE HEARD THAT ONE OF THIS AIRCRAFT ( JU 488 ) WAS BUILT SECRETLY IN GERMANY , AND WAS COMPLETE IN THE END OF WW-2. BY THE END OF THE WAR THIS COMPLETED JU-488 WAS CAPTURED BY THE SOVIET RED ARMY IN TEMPLEHOF IN BERLIN. |
