Idea if anyone wants to play with it: the UK gets involved with the result that the Audacious-class aircraft carriers HMS Ark Royal and HMS Eagle do stints using their Buccaneers and Phantom FG.1s.

Or perhaps France gets re-involved and thus one result might be Armée de l'Air and RAAF Mirage IIIs operating in Vietnam.

Or even sending pilots to fly the F-8 Crusader (France also received the fighter in the same time)

Most of the ideas shown up are either from the US and Allies sides - but how about the North Vietnamese? Shouldn't they receive some "love"

Wheres one idea:
- What if Kwame Nkrumah (the first president of Ghana) wasn't toppled while it was visiting PRC and North Vietnam (or even failed, been more likely for the proposal), and it decided to support North Vietnam with volunteers.

But "returning" for the "Democratic" side:
- South Korean A-7 Corsair II
- South Vietnam B-57 Canberra (OTL proposal, but cancelled)

Or perhaps China or more likely, the USSR gets involved in a more direct way...perhaps by supplying more advanced weapons (with or without Soviet volunteers operating). Perhaps:
