what's wrong with this picture?

A site called Magazine Art has pictures of covers from a magazine called Electrical Experimenter here (the more interesting pictures start on page 2). Fascinating views of what the future looked like in the 1920s. Also fodder for the intermittent Call of Cthulhu game that I run.

But I take issue with this picture...

Maybe the pilot is in the vacuum?
