What is the Animal Air Transportation Association?

This paper deals with the history of the air transport of animals, of the efforts by various organizations to help resolve some of the problems, and of the birth and development of a unique organization to deal with all aspects of animal transport problems, the Animal Air Transportation Association (AATA).
