Bredon and Wood have given a complete answer to the embeddability question for
nonorientable surfaces in lens spaces. They formulate their result in terms of
a recursive formula that determines, for a given lens space, the minimal
genus of embeddable nonorientable surfaces. Here we give a direct proof
that, amongst lens spaces as target manifolds, the Klein bottle embeds into
only.
We describe four explicit realisations of these embeddings.
