      The author determines all cubic surfaces in the affine 3-space AG(3,q). This leads to a complete classification of the semifield planes of order \(q^ 3\) whose spread sets are division algebras of dimension 3. As a corollary follows a result of Menichetti that finite division algebras of dimension 3 are associative or are twisted fields. This paper is an extension of a recent paper of the author [Can. J. Math. 38, 672-696 (1986; Zbl 0601.51008)].
