Question

In the "old days" (circa 1935) pilots use to race small, relatively high powered airplanes around courses marked by a pylon on the ground at each end of the course. Suppose two such evenly matched racers fly at air speeds of 130mph. (Remember, this was a long time ago!) Each flies one complete round trip of 25miles, but their courses are perpendicular to each other and there is a 20mph wind blowing steadily parallel to one course. Relative to the axes of their respective courses, what headings must the two pilots use?
