What was the first aircraft equipped with a RAT?
So far, the oldest I have found is LZ-127 Graf Zeppelin, first flight in 1928. It used a propeller-driven generator to power its radios and a second one (with buffer battery) to keep the ship illuminated. In the drawing below (source) they are indicated as "Wind-Dynamo", being on both sides of the main gondola.

I am rather sure that the wartime Zeppelins used those generators as well, but have yet to find proof for it.





LZ-127 on August 26, 1929, in Los Angeles (source). The right generator is circled in red.

EDIT: Now I have found a source that attributes a RAT to the Zeppelin Staaken Riesenflugzeuge of WW I. The source is Tom Morrison's book "Quest for All-Weather Flight" and it says on page 28:


  In November 1917 the Drexler bank indicator was introduced instead [of the Anschütz gyro]. Much simpler than the Anschütz instrument, it weighed only 5 kg (11 pounds). It was powered by electricity from a generator driven by a small propeller in the slipstream and took less than a minute to run up to speed.


So this dates the first RAT back to November 1917. Sorry, no online sources.
