Dennis Wheatley ,Edgar Rice Burroughs ,Rider Haggard And The Pulp Masters.

Second only to Dennis Wheatley  in terms of ubiquitous paperbacks was the pulp writer Edgar Rice Burroughs.During the post war paperback revolution pocket sized paperbacks were sold in news agents, station book stalls and automats.Edgar Rice Burroughs with his brand leader Tarzan was a favorite for these venues.As well as Tarzan he also wrote science fiction of a dated variety set on Mars (Barsoom) Venus (Amtor) and the hollow Earth Pellucidar. Edgar Rice Burroughs was also a fairly conservative writer and also like Wheatley a man  of action.His last exploits when he was quite old were as a war correspondent in the Pacific during the Second World War.He had been living in Hawaii at the time of Pearl Harbour so when the war came to the Pacific he managed through his fame as the creator of Tarzan to be credited by a newspaper as a war correspondent.
