The Junkers Ju 488 was a proposed heavy strategic bomber to be used by Germany in World War II but the project never got past the prototype stage. In an effort to produce an advanced four engined strategic bomber for the Luftwaffe a proposal was made by Junkers during 1944 to create a simplified design by combining sub-assemblies of the Ju 188 Ju 288 and Ju 388 to new wing and fuselage assemblies.
