The FM section of http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Broadcasting-1941-Yearbook-Page-Range-Guide.htm has details on stations and regulation... just look at the index.
Also, the complete set of Broadcasting Magazine from that year can be viewed at http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Broadcasting_Individual_Issues_Guide.htm and there are lots of FM references. Use the search function to search on "FM" and restrict it to '41 only with the check boxes.

Man Of High Fidelity:Edwin Howard Armstrong
by Lawrence Lessig
is out of print enough that whoever owns the rights is allowing it to be hosted online and downloaded
http://archive.org/details/manofhighfidelit002474mbp
It's the biography of the man in large part responsible for FM as we know it, and a lot of other "made radio as we know it possible" stuff as well, and includes details on why FM used to be in that band and isn't anymore.

Here is a couple of sentences from Wikipedia about WBOE radio, owned and operated by the Cleveland Public Schools from 1938 - 1982...(dark after October 7, 1978).
"In September 1940, WBOE requested authority to relinquish its 41.5 MHz AM operation and change to FM operation on 42.5 MHz. In March 1941 WBOE became an FM station, broadcasting with 1,000 watts on 42.5 MHz..."
The station would go to its final frequency of 90.3 FM in 1948. The original FCC licenses, and communications with the FCC exist that confirm the accuracy of the above.
