Simply referring to 'wood' or 'metal' is almost meaningless. Aircraft are bulit out of specified materials, not vague descriptions. Which would work better, a longbow built out of yew, or one made out of cast iron?

If metal plates deforms due to excessive forms it returns to its natural position in most times. Wood not, it brokes.

If you deform a material beyond its elastic limit, it deforms. Aircraft designers know this, and design accordingly.
I suggest you do a little research into structual engineering in general, and aircraft design in particular, before you make any more sweeping statements of the relative benefits of wood vs metal construction.
