Abstract: We consider some generalizations of Freedman-Townsend models of self-interacting antisymmetric tensors, involving couplings to further form fields introduced by Henneaux and Knaepen. We show how these fields can provide masses to the tensors by means of the Stueckelberg mechanism and implement the latter in four-dimensional N=1 superspace. The duality properties of the form fields are studied, and the paradoxical situation of a duality between a free and an interacting theory is encountered.
