For the first time since the Chinese Nationalist Government moved Formosa in 1949, Chinese Communist planes flew over Formosa today causing a total blackout throught the island.

An official report said an unknown number of Communist planes flew over the outskirts of Tai- pei, but gave no other details.

Usually reliable sources said eight Chinese Communist propeller-driven bombers flew over the island, but no invading planes were visible in Tai- pei as Nationalist anti-aircraft guns roared in- cessantly for almost two hours.
