I just checked for references for the magazine and found what purports to be an image of the cover of Science and Invention May 1924

looks "real" to me

It’s likely real. The author is Hugo Gernsback, for whom the Hugo Award in Science Fiction is named for. Wikipedia has a decent write up of him.

Tesla made a radio controlled boat in 1898.
