Most of the aircraft in the US Air Force are not turboprops but jets.

The C-130 is the most prominent turboprop, and they use it because it can fly from undeveloped runways--gravel roads or even grass fields.

What airforce used a messerschmitt?

Depends on what kind of Messerschmitt you mean... The 262 (first serial produced jet fighter ever) ... only German Luftwaffe. Same thing for the 163 rocket fighter. But if you're talking about the 109 (most famous of all of them)... well... German Luftwaffe (Austria integrated), Romanian Airforce, Finnish Airforce, Italian Airforce, Croatian Airforce... (those allied with Germany). And the Swiss Airforce (not allied with Germany - this mean's there have been 109 vs. 109 air clashes).
