The authors consider the WKB type asymptotic expansions of solutions to third order linear ordinary differential equations of the form \(\varepsilon^ 3y'''+\varepsilon^ 2p_ 1(x)y''+\varepsilon p_ 2(x)y'+p_ 3(x)y=0\), in the whole complex \(x\)-plane. The formal solutions are constructed by the WKB method; an existence theorem is given; questions such as the Stokes curve configuration, existence of admissible domains, the connection rules in the whole complex \(x\)-plane are considered, which had been considered by other authors for second order ordinary differential equations.
