I would really appreciate if anyone could provide me with an example of a locally trivial, but globally nontrivial, fiber bundle $Y\hookrightarrow Z \rightarrow X$, where $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ are all compact spin manifolds with even dimension (preferably divisible by $4$) satisfying $p_1(Z)=0$, but $p_1(X)\neq 0$.
Example of a nontrivial fiber bundle with total space compact, spin, and $p_1=0$
