The authors claim that in the real case the literature is sketchy at best (the reviewer will comment on this below), and they continue: ``In this paper we shall begin the study of the decomposition of real vector bundles. \\dots We give a general decomposition result (Theorem 2.1.5) which relates a given vector bundle to some cohomology classes with local coefficients in the homotopy group of a Grassmann manifold; it is those classes that obstruct the decomposition. Those classes are natural with respect to the induced vector bundle by a map (see 2.1.7). For some special decompositions, we gave a relationship between those classes and the well-known characteristic classes such as Stiefel-Whitney classes and Chern classes (see 2.2.8, 2.2.9 and 2.2.10). We find applications in the study of subbundles of low codimension.''  Reviewer's remarks: (1) Contrary to the opinion expressed by the authors, there is a wide range of relevant works: \\textit{M. Crabb} and \\textit{B. Steer}'s [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. 30, 1--39 (1975; Zbl 0294.57015)], \\textit{U. Koschorke}'s book [Vector fields and other vector bundle morphisms -- a singularity approach (1981; Zbl 0459.57016)], his paper [Topology Appl. 75, 261--286 (1997; Zbl 0870.55011)], \\textit{R. Stong}'s paper [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 84, 576--580 (1982; Zbl 0503.55013)], or also \\textit{E. Thomas}' lecture notes [Seminar on fiber spaces (1966; Zbl 0151.31604)], to name just a few.  (2) For the proof of Corollary 2.1.10 (``Let \\(\\xi^ m\\) be an \\(m\\)-dimensional vector bundle over a connected \\(N\\)-dimensional \\(CW\\)-complex \\(X\\). If \\(N\\leq m-k\\), then \\(\\xi^ m\\) can be decomposed as a Whitney sum \\(\\xi^ m=\\xi^ k\\oplus \\xi^ {m-k}\\).''), the authors refer to Theorem 2.1.5 and other results from the paper under review. But the cited result (in a stronger form) is well known; cf. for instance p. 112 in \\textit{D. Husemoller}'s book [Fibre bundles. 3rd ed. (1993; Zbl 0794.55001)].  (3) In Example 3.4, the authors say: ``Let \\([M_ {2k+1}]\\in MO_{2k+1}\\) be a \\((2k+1)\\)-dimensional cobordism class, then we can choose \\(M_ {2k+1}\\) such that \\(\\tau(M_ {2k+1})\\approx \\xi^ {2k}\\oplus \\mathbb{R}\\).'' They give a long proof, but again, a stronger result is well known: the Hopf theorem on non-vanishing tangent vector fields (cf. 39.8 in \\textit{N. Steenrond}'s book [The topology of fibre bundles (1951; Zbl 0054.07103)]) readily implies that the tangent bundle of any odd-dimensional closed connected smooth manifold has a trivial \\(1\\)-dimensional subbundle.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1880085$5546259D-41C7-4C50-A7FE-40D6A845B50B","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"b1064660b51132b656690851c3a5c2c64f32dc34","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":223850,"id":"Q223850"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1880085$A4301065-F67D-4DC8-BD7A-3A5A47395630","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"82c465b460b539bdc26ed986709da90954aa9c70","datavalue":{"value":"55S35","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1880085$17520CC3-E1BA-43EA-AE38-09A289F8F105","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"9e0d148c4f39816ac5f92a4d5031725316bc26da","datavalue":{"value":"57R22","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1880085$30F7DAB9-0ADF-4FC5-BCB2-D67B2379920E","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"e6bb1297a810610d76e75c4ded395c895c0b4eae","datavalue":{"value":"57R25","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1880085$E29945C3-56D3-4843-A43B-6A64C7AC3004","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"9f35d115b08b00e428b7bb96212d2536aec04944","datavalue":{"value":"55R25","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1880085$B4138767-2BD6-4BD4-A542-FC6ACA0286C7","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"bdc5f021c433a7b73bbb8fbfe8dc01743e701c73","datavalue":{"value":"2101113","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1880085$93E975BF-E22E-4DF9-8495-EFDB582E383B","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"8293f563e677db9eb97dee9a1963521228c930b1","datavalue":{"value":"vector
