There was no Radar in WWI but, even if there were, those airplanes would be quite stealthy, I'm guessing. I think that radio waves won't reflect very much at all on an airplane made mostly of a wooden frame with doped fabric surfaces.
You're right. One of the main reasons the British saw such success with their Mosquito light bomber/attack/recon aircraft is it was just about invisible to German radar because it was mostly wood.

Wasn't a fair amount of it made from balsa?

I'm not sure if it was Balsa or not.
