I don’t think we bombed any steel mills in World War I. Strategic bombing simply didn’t exist. The closest thing to a strategic bomber was the Handley Page O class (O/100 and O/400.
There were also some Zeppelins (aircraft AND dirigibles) and Gothas. And some Capronis.
But strategic bombing as such simply didn’t exist.

What little strategic bombing that was done in WW1 ended up damaging more private property and killing civilians than military targets which were almost never hit in these missions.
