review text: The authors employ the formalism of Clifford bundles to further analyze the possible equivalence of the Dirac and Maxwell equations. In particular, they show how their viewpoint simplifies the work of \textit{A. A. Campolattaro} [Int. J. Theor. Phys. 19, 99-126 (1980; Zbl 0439.35064); and 127-138 (1980; Zbl 0439.35065); ibid. 29, No. 2, 141-155 (1990; Zbl 0705.35137)]. The paper concludes with some implications of this research for quantum mechanics.
