We build up a class of N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear {sigma} models in an N=1 superspace based on the Atiyah-Ward space-time of (2+2)-signature metric. We also discuss the gauging of isometries of the associated hyper-K{umlt a}hlerian target spaces and present the resulting gauge-covariant supersymmetric action functional. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
