I've been trying to find a series of books I read in middle school (~2001, though I have no idea when they were published but I vaguely remember thinking they were "old" books at the time, which could have meant anything from the 80s through 1999).

I was wondering if say two enemies were free-falling and still trying to attack the other before deploying their parachutes and one had a gun, where should he aim?
