Many prewar (WWII) fighters used wooden propellers. During the war the
British fighters like Spitfires and Hurricanes as well as German Me-109's
and FW-190's were equipped with metal blade propellers. This can be seen
in e.g. photographs presenting downed planes. The bent blades are often
clearly visible.

At one time or another, all of those aircraft flew behind wooden props.
Do a google search for "Wood Rotol propeller spitfire", for example.

You're right. Rotol did manufacture wooden blade constant speed propellers
at least three and four-blade models.
