The Luftmeldekorps (LMK; transl. Air Reporting Corps) was a Danish civil defence organisation which performed aircraft recognition during WWII, and a nuclear warning role from 1952,[1] whilst retaining the aircraft recognition role due to the proximity of Warsaw Pact countries until 1991. The LMK was disbanded in 2004.[2]
