New vanguard
1. River Gunboats of WW1
In WW 1 River gunboats played a significant part in campaigns in Mesopotamia, Africa, the Danube and post-war on the Volga during the Russian Civil War.
2. 19th Centaury African Colonial River Gunboats
For Europeans the great rivers of the African continent were often a highway into the interior.
River boats were central to the British campaign in the Sudan and the French in Dahomey not just for supply and communication but as floating gun platforms.
3. Napoleonic Prussian Artillery
After 1806 Prussia had to rebuild their artillery arm virtually from scratch, how did they do it? What’s the difference between a “light” and a “heavy” 6PDR?
4. 19th Centaury Artillery Rockets
The British (and for awhile, the Austrians) pioneered the artillery rocket in Europe and while a minor part of any nations arsenal it did develop over the centaury and was seen on many battlefields: Liepzig, numerous colonial campaigns, the Carlist Wars and lest we forget the “rockets red glare” from the War of 1812.
5. The Military Bicycle
The bicycle has a surprisingly long military history, beginning with experiments with American “coloured” troops it became something of a fad amongst 19th volunteer units by WW1 whole battalions were mounted on bicycles. During WW2 the bicycle was the secret weapon of the Japanese invasion of Malaysia and later played it’s part on Vietnam’s legendary Ho Chi Min trail.

Right then! My five are rather tank heavy I’m afraid but they are significant gaps in the series none the less;
1. Valentine – How has this very significant British infantry tank missed coverage so far? All the other British tanks of WWII have been covered yet the most produced one hasn’t!!! It saw action from North Africa to the Russian Front and was still around in N W West Europe as a gun tank right up until the end of the war not to mention the numerous specialist variants.
2. Whippet – The “other” British tank of WWI. The MkI through V rhomboids have been well covered but the fast cavalry replacement with its whopping 8mph top speed has been over looked. Its service on the Western Front is well worth a look not to mention its use post war both at home and abroad in Russia and even in Japan.
3. French Light Tanks of WWII – The first in a two volume work. This book would cover the FT-17, H-35, H-38, H-39 & R-35 light tanks and their use from the battles in France in 1940 to their continued use in North Africa and the Middle East, the Balkans and even Western Europe in 1944-45.
4. French Medium/Heavy Tanks of WWII – The second volume covering French tanks would look at the Char B1, S35, Char D1 & D2 and possibly even the enormous Char 2C.
5. T-26 1931-1945 – Ok so you have covered the T-34 and KV-1 but what about the rest??? The T-26 was one, if not the, most numerous tank in the world during the 1930s with action in the Far East against the Japanese and in Spain. It also formed the bulk of Soviet tank forces during the early fighting on the Eastern Front from the summer of 1941. A much used and sadly overlooked tank!

Well here come mines:
1. The Age of Galleys: Naval Warfare in Ancient Age (birreme, penteconter, trirreme, liburna, dromon, ...)
2. Celtic War Chariot
3. Scythed chariot
4. Bombard and siege cannons of Late Middle Ages
5. Greek Fire
Maybe it would be good a book about War Chariot (similar to War elephant NVG 150) including: sumerian battle wagons, hittite and egyptian chariots, persian scythed chariots, ratha-indian chariots-,pinyin-chinese chariots-, celtic chariots and finally, roman and greek chariots). Then I positioned it in 2º place.
There are very few titles in New Vanguard Series in Ancient Age period.

First a question: will helicopters still be covered by New Vanguard or in Air Vanguard? If the former, then the Chinook is an obvious gap (arguably the most important military helicopter not yet covered).
Otherwise:
1) I second the 'Whippet' suggestion - only major WW1 tank not covered yet (that I'm aware of);
2) Soviet Submarines of World War 2
3) Italian Submarines of World War 2
4) Iron Age & Classical War Chariots
5) Ocean-going (non-ironclad) warships of the US Civil War - only US Civil War naval subject not yet covered

As other people have already suggested, An NV title on pre-20th century rocketry would be great! Chinese rocketry, Mysore rockets, Congreve rockets, Hales rockets...I'ld definitely buy a book like that!
Also, I wonder if it would be possible to publish an NV title on war camels, kind of similar to the one on war elephants.
