I am considering different ideas for my TL and I am trying to think of a POD so that I could get a western country to deploy fighters to South Vietnam ala the RAAF detachment in Thailand in 1961 / 2.

My original thoughts were just to have the RAAF move in early say 1958 to South Vietnam instead of Thailand. But, would this be realistic? Alternatively what other powers would be able to contribute... I was thinking possibly USAF or out of the left field the RCAF. Although for political reasons the French will not be in consideration.
