Abstract: Let $X$ be a smooth manifold with a (smooth) involution $sigma:XoX$ such that $Fix(sigma)eemptyset$. We call the space $P(m,X):=mathbb{S}^{m}imesX/!sim$ where $(v,x)sim(-v,sigma(x))$ a generalized Dold manifold. When $X$ is an almost complex manifold and the differential $Tsigma:TXoTX$ is conjugate complex linear on each fibre, we obtain a formula for the Stiefel-Whitney polynomial of $P(m,X)$ when $H^1(X;mathbb{Z}_2)=0$. We obtain results on stable parallelizability of $P(m,X)$ and a very general criterion for the (non) vanishing of the unoriented cobordism class $[P(m,X)]$ in terms of the corresponding properties for $X$. These results are applied to the case when $X$ is a complex flag manifold.
