Let \(F(x_0, x_1, x_2, x_3)\) be a nonsingular cubic form, defined over a number field \(k\), and suppose that the corresponding projective surface \(X\) has three coplanar lines all defined over \(k\). Then it is shown that the number of \(k\)-rational points on \(X\), of height at most \(B\), not lying on any of the 27 lines in \(X\), is \(O_{F,\varepsilon} (B^{4/3+ \varepsilon})\) for any constant \(\varepsilon> 0\). This result extends to arbitrary number fields the work of the reviewer [Acta Arith. 79, 17-30 (1997; Zbl 0863.11021)]. Previously \textit{Yu. I. Manin} and \textit{Yu. Tschinkel} [Compos. Math. 85, 315-332 (1993; Zbl 0782.14033)] had obtained the weaker exponent \(5/3+ \varepsilon\), also for an arbitrary number field \(k\), but under the stronger hypothesis that all 27 lines should be defined over \(k\). The author follows the reviewer's approach, but there is quite a bit of material relating to the geometry of numbers that is standard over \(\mathbb{Q}\), but has to be properly formulated and developed in the general setting. Most notably, the reviewer's estimate [loc. cit.] for the number of rational points on a conic, has to be established for an arbitrary number field.
