Oin trivialities of Steifel-Whitney classes of vector bundles over iterated suspensions of Dold manifolds

A space X is called W-trivial if for every vector bundle \xi over X, the total Stiefel-Whitney class W(\xi) = 1. In this article we shall investigate whether the suspensions \Sigma^k D(m,n) of Dold manifolds are W-trivial or not.
