I suspect the Germans were first in the use of a prop to drive a generator. The technology lives on today in two applications that I can think of used by U.S. Navy air: Radar jamming pods and buddy refueling pods.
(Next to the jamming pod in the photo is an AGM-88 radar homing missile; identify and locate enemy radar and then kill it)
