Abstract: If a closed orientable manifold (resp. rational Poincar'e duality space) $X$ receives a map $YoX$ from a formal manifold (resp. space) $Y$ that hits a fundamental class, then $X$ is formal. The main technical ingredient in the proof states that given a map of $A_{i}nfty$-algebras $AoB$ admitting a homotopy $A$-bimodule retract, formality of $B$ implies that of $A$.
