See the references listed on http://home.earthlink.net/~w6rmk/lightning.htm

Actually, google for "mousa lightning" and most of the good papers 
will come up.  Although copyrighted by IEEE, there's lots of bootleg 
copies floating around the web.

I haven't found the NASA/Air Force/etc report with all the test data 
on line yet, but stuff like that is getting more and more common, as 
the various agencies digitize and publish farther back.  Some 
googling might find it.
