Pursuit by Jacqueline Cochran: launched in 1948. From trademark and patent records, she filed a trademark for the name in 1941, but it wasn't launched as a perfume until after WWII. The name derives from a type of airplane, the Seversky Pursuit plane 9, that aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran flew to win the prestigious Bendix Trophy Race in 1938.
