Under the conditions stated in the question, the bombs dropped from the higher bomber will strike the lower bomber. If you need a mathematical analysis as to why this is so, post a Comment and I can add the analysis.

Look at it this way: The 2 bombers and the dropped bombs all have the same horizontal velocity at all times. The only difference is that the dropped bombs also have a downward vertical velocity, so at some point in time, the dropped bombs and the lower bomber will arrive at the same place at the same time.
