I don't doubt it. The Junkers J 1 of 1915 was the worlds first airworthy (internal) all metal monoplane. The metal was iron! The J 3 was made in light metal.
The Short Silver Streak in England (1920) is generally regarded as the worlds first all aluminium (and duralumin) aircraft. Even the moveable surfaces were metal.
